Which one do I get?

Yeah your opinion does count but remember I got a whole case of "Troll-b-Gone" spray.

Should I get:

1. Rota Grids: http://www.subydude.com/parts/wheels.php#grid

or

2. MB Motorsports Weapons: http://www.discounttire.com/product/...mwea.br.xl.jpg

I am getting the 17x7.5x48 with P Zero Nero (M+S) 225/45/17 for a stock suspension on the 04 WRX wagon. I would like some opinions. I know these will work since Hayai_Yo has them with Rota Torques which has the same offset. It's just come down to the rims.

Thanks,
WRXDad

Rota grids, I like the 6 spoke design better than the 7 spoke design.

I say the grids, but that may be a biased opinion

I like the weapons but they are pretty heavy. I think both wheels are replicas.

Now you see, you're just making my life harder!!

Those Weds are Hot! But the deal killer might be the offset! I have a Wagon and I need the offset 48 in order to get the 225/45/17s on. I am going to keep the suspension stock so if you think I can get away with the 43 offset and the 225s at the same time, I will consider the increase cost.

Let me know,

not true... it all depends on the wheel design, offsets can vary...

+43 should work on the wagon, my te37 was on a wagon and it has a +38 offset...

+48 on a sedan seems too far in for me... I like the wheels nice and flush with the fender...

So your saying:

I can get the Weds with the 225/45/17 PZero Neros? Without rubbing issues on my wagon? Really? Cool!

the offset on Gruppe-S website is wrong. the SA-90s have a offset of +45, which should be fine on ur wagon. if u have the money i say go for the Wedsports, they r rare and clear the STi Brembos . out of the 2 rims in ur poll, i say get the Weapons since they're somewhat JDM rims and r more "original".
