    I like em...

    Personally I'll never go any thinner than 7.5's now that I have some. They're just so much aggressive looking and you can mount up 245 size tires.

    I just can't figure out what you don't like about your stock wheels. I'd love to have them if they were the right offset.

    If I had $2k lying around, those wheels would be on my legacy.

    imo...the stockers are better....just not a huge "mesh" style rim fan...unless maybe black with a polished lip contrast....down with that in mesh style.....it just seems so 80's to me...:dunno

    if you've got an 06 then your giving up 1/2" wheel width.
    I'd say jump all over them, but not worth losing that width for...

    Do they come in a larger size? As stated, ur losing a 1/2 inch... I'd like to see those in a 18 x 8.5.... Loving the style, allways have.

    I have some similar wheels that are 18x8.5 I really like the looks, but mine are not forged and are a bit heavier. 17's will be less rotational mass, but the 18's definitely look nice.

    I voted yes, but personally, if I were going to spend that much on a wheel, I'd go with Volks or SSRs or Gramlights.

    the 18x8's would be better, as you keep the stock width.

    Unsure about the 18" though. Depends on what you're looking for....
    The 18's will open up a much wider tire selection for you (think about the
    slicks you have avaiable to you), but at the cost of more rotational mass.

    If these are just daily drivers though I don't know if I'd be too worried about it.

    The weight would probably only be about 2.5 lbs. wouldn't it?

    True that amounts to an equivilent of a lot more in rolling weight though.

    Dude a buddy of mine has those on his 05 WRX and I drool over them every time I see them.

    My dream wheel on my car would be 18" Super Racing Advans in Gold.

    I like em. I would have been all over those in gold if I had the chance to do it over again, but for now, I guess I am stuck with my Prodrive P1s.
