Oh man they look beautiful. I really wanted those for mine at one point but wasn't 100% sure they suited the current shape. They are going to look perfect on yours. Honestly looked at so many wheels in the last 2 weeks it's mad.
What size spacer do you think you'll need?
Not checked mine on the car yet, I'm lead to believe they clear brembo brakes, but I'll find out tomorrow when I check!!! ��

Not necessarily no. With brembo calipers being so wide it's really dependant on the spoke design. My wheels dish out at the edge and in towards the middle so the caliper had a pocket of space to sit in. The other wheels pictures have recessed spokes that hit the caliper. As Charlie says, he'll have to run such a low ET wheel or such big spacers the wheel will stick out loads from the arches.

now please stop trolling people's threads with aggressive unnecessary comments.

not taking either side BUT in general terms ET has little or no bearing on wheel clearance...............
std newage STi 17" is ET53 almost identical to a std newage WRX wheel but only one clears and its simply because the inner spoke is designed to allow maximum clearance
OZ superT's in 19" ET48 wont clear a std newage STi brembo.......

So my wheels turned up this morning, very pleased. May get them sprayed gloss black if I don't like the bling once fitted to the car.
Also my Induction kit and Perrin FMIC kit turned up. WOW, what a great bit of kit that is. Hadn't appreciated just how HUGE the core would be!!!!

These run a 245 40 18 tyre as standard so there's already more contact patch than previous models.

it's great. It really feels planted. These have got traction control on top of the 4WD system so feels even more planted. In all honesty I've not pushed it that far yet but on.a few severe corners on my journey home I think it may well be taking corners at the same speed if not faster than my hawk and FSTI but with far less effort.

If your not building nice cars your buying them, lol. Can't imagine there are many of those already with a forged engine, jammy so and so. Looking forward to seeing the end product brownpantsracing.
Those wheels that charlyskunkweed has bought look awesome, shame they don't fit. What make are they charlyskunkweed, not Volks are they ?

My suspension still hasn't been shipped from the US yet and I'm getting really desperate to get it fitted and the wheels on. It's so frustrating!

Will you be swapping over your TPMS valves from your existing wheels to the new ones?
#53
However, the TPMS valves are still mounted in the original 18" Subaru wheels with the winter wheels on currently sat in one of my sheds. The forged Subaru wheels currently fitted to the car don't have the TPMS valves, only standard.
So the plan is to have the TPMS valves put on the Rota wheels with the Goodyear summer tyres, the winter tyres fitted to the current Subaru forged wheels and sell the standard 18" wheels on fleabay. Eventually.

You would need to ask someone who has experience of setting the system up and how it interacts/is integrated with other systems under SSM.
It has a separate control module and is linked into the Body Integrated Unit/CAN communication system

Don't think you can do anything with the Tactrix.

Suspension been shipped from US now, on express courier but may take a week still.
New ChargeSpeed front splitter now in the UK and customs paid today so should receive this tomorrow.
Just ordered new Forge turbo blanket for the VF48 turbo from Alyn @ AS Performance.
Slowly coming together now.
Also think I'm almost decided on the SC42 billet + turbo now when the time finally comes for power upgrades.
