Do you have 17" or 18" wheels?
If so,... Why did you chose that? Do you have any problems with it? the good and the bad.

I've had both 18s and 17s. While 18s do complement the WRX nicely with a body kit of some sort, with a decent drop, 17s are lighter and look much better I think, that's why I've been running 17s ever since.

picking up AWD 20Ts STI wheels today. I went with them because they look oem and are relatively cheap. If Money wasn't an issue, I think i would be sporting 16X8 Advan RCs or TE37s. I like having a good deal of sidewall, as does the GF.

haha but I bet you have a lot of money on mods that you could have bought new wheels with

You can't get sidewalls with 18s?
17" ssr's b/c i've heard about 18s bending. i wanted a higher profile tire as a safeguard. otherwise, i think 18s look better and aren't that much heavier if we're talking about ssr competitions.
