    I can tell you how it'd look...... AWESOME. :)

    I'm a little biased though.

    Lol. Man.... it's just that people did such a good job on Milo's car I figured I could preview it and stuff.

    Honestly though the Enkei's (Stock 06 WRX) aren't really wide enough for me. It's been kinda bugging me how they're inset under the fender wells. I remember thinking the Rota's looked like they were on steriods when I first put them on and I kinda want back. :hs:

    Lol. I'm not too sure about the light's and stuff. I have thought about making the tail lights red though.

    I'm starting to like the black wheel look. :)

    I agree.... black rims means blackened headlights.

    *knock knock*...... Milo...... you listening too...... :)

    It's not like it's hard to get the paint off if you decide you don't like it.
    Oh yeah, no more brake dust worries.

    I honestly think it'd look great. It will take some getting used to, however, if you go black rims I'd say go ahead and go with black headlamps and tinted tails ;)

    You know where to find me :D

    No. I also have some Rota Tarmac 2's that I sport sometimes. I actually just put them back on because the stockers were looking a bit puny in comparison.
