I dunno bout you, but I personally think bronze on silver is ugly. Keep the Rotas.

Are the DSM's 5x100?

I think they are among the most unique wheels that don't weigh a ton. If you are looking for a unique setup the do it....otherwise how much do you want for them?

DSM wheels are 5x114.3

They aren't gonna fit your WRX.
