If you knew your exhaust notes, you would show a little respect for the VQ's beauty.

Actually... SE does NOT have spec C wheels... they are A-Line type S wheels.

Spec C comes w/ 17x8 Enkei (same as USDM 07 STI Limited) wheels.

I didn't read the entire thread but to the OP, if you are not going to mod the STi at all when you purchase it then get the SE if thats what you like but I think its a complete waste of money if you are are planning on doing mods to it, ie. suspension, wheels, performance.

Hell I would buy it because its cheaper whether or not I was going to mod it, and if I did mod it the take-off spec-c suspension and charcoal wheels will sell for more than the base STI parts anyhow.

If you come up here, let me know ahead of time, and I'll go with you for the "adoption". Plus my STi is in need of new skulls, the ones that are on the mirrors are quite old and starting to peel.

Could be the previous year used the ones on the current SE, because all the other Spec C hatches I'm looking at have the SE wheels.
