I agree with the space between the spokes, don't think they look right for an impreza.

I think the larger space lends itself to the jdm look, however I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, maybe suit the impreza better in anthracite or gold .

Alloys are a personal taste and everyone will have different views. I personally like them and black on a blue car goes well.

I hate 5 spoke wheels on turbo cars, not sure what it is, but I always think they just look so wrong. They look like the sort of wheel for a mk2 golf gti back in the 90's.

Ok, but what I mean is that straight style of 5 spoke like in the op's post. Porsche clearly agree with me as they add a 'twist' to the spokes which a lot of manufacturers do on turbo cars.
