'06 spec.B + Prodrive GC-05F
I finally got a chance to get my other set of wheels mounted/balanced today by Alex (Imprezer). He did a great job, and finished in ~20 mins. 
It was a bit too sunny out, so I'll have to get better photos of the Prodrives another day.
Before (Advan RS in silver, 18x8.5", +48mm with 235/40/18 Advan Neova);
After (Prodrive GC-05F in British Black, 18x8", +46mm with 235/40/18 Toyo T1-R);

Thanks for the compliments. I still have the Advans, so they will still see their way onto the LGT...

What worries about insurance?
Advans were ~$2,000 from GRuppe-S, and the Prodrives were ~$2,100 from Subaru of Dallas.

i'm usually a sucker for dark gunmetalesque wheels, but i'll have to go w/the other dudes too. the advans complemented your ride a little better than the prodrives, which look a little smaller too cuz of their darker hue and non-extending spokes.
details, details though..........very sweet ride.
since the other guys asked about prices....mind giving us the scoop on the car itself??

beauty ! im gonna have to agree as well the advans looked nicer =) but your car is sweet either way man !
well, since it's not the USDM bumper, thus not meeting crash regulations, the insurance company can potentially deny your claim if you get into an accident involving the front end, citing the lack of a proper bumper. Or they could be total dicks and deny your claims no matter what kind of accident it is. Who knows with insurance scumbags. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV...but I've heard this is an issue, so just fyi. Car is beautiful, btw...I'd risk it.
