    Overall I couldn't be happier. I think the color, size, offset, price, weight (exactly 19.6 each), and look couldn't have been better. Now I'm going to put them to the test and see if I can bend one at autoX this weekend.

    It's very noticeable. I had 9s on my '05 STi and it was a big improvement on that too. And my bugeye had 8.5s... Wide wheels are the way to go.

    Wow those look awesome. I have been thinking about getting 17x9's also. I cant decide on a wheel though but it looks like only DTP's are available in the x9's according to their site

    For STi's there are a lot of 9" wide options... Kosei makes a kick ass 17x9 for them!

    Ass shot!

    No, but if you build one identical to this but in white or gray I'll trade.

    Neither... I have plans this weekend. :( Did you see the supermoto track day thread on SMJ? I'm probably going.

    Looks great! Forestors like yours are the reason I like that car. Just a little more meat on those tires and it would be perfect.
