Thank you guys/gals from i-club.com

Well after asking numerous questions on the forums and scouring the posts I finally made some mods and I wanted to thank those that helped out! Here are some pictures:

Mods so far:
- 02 Sedan RSB
- 18x7.5 MB Sports Weapons (A-Tech Erasers) + 225/40/18 PZero Neros.
- Forester Cup holder (My wife and kid made me do this one )

I have more planned just need to cool it a bit since my wife is getting a bit irratated with the expenditures.

I wzant to thank the guys and gals from these posts for their advise:

Ha! ha! ha! I hear that...my wife doesn't really understand the whole modding-thing. She gets all bent when I get anything for the WRX.

Anyhoo...rims looks great! After reading your announcement of them (in the A4 vs. WRX thread) I had to look and see if you've posted any pics. And here you are!

I'll try and keep an eye out for you on the road if I'm ever in the Campbell area.

I just noticed you got it with PZero Nero M+S tires. I want those next...I want to be able to go to Tahoe (or anywhere) that might have snow and don't want to swap tires or wear chains. If you don't mind, let me know what your impression is running those with 225s like you are now (if you see any snow this time of year).

Looking good! I agree that black lugs would look hot but you better get the wife some roses before you spend any more $$ on the Suby.

Covered that! I had this week off since my work has a voluntary Shut down so drove out to Capitola to have lunch with her and I saw this guy selling roses!

Guess who's in the good books. Plus I bought her Dad a vacation with us 5 nights cruise to Mexico! So I am in the good books with my wife and the outlaws.. err.. I mean in-laws.

I got them at tires.com along with the wheels. They gave me the MB Sports Weapons (A-Tech Erasers) with the Pirelli PZero Neros M+S plus balancing and lug nuts for a whole $999 Shipped. But I bought the Tire insurance for $1057 shipped. Great deal actually.

The offset is 48. They are abit on the heavy side though (22lbs for the wheel I believe) but, I didn't really care since my spirited drive is not that spirited (especially with a 8 yr old sliding around in the back and choking on the seat belts )

Yup M+S neros! They ride great, much better then stock IMHO and stick to the road like glue! Compared to stock I can feel the road more but that was expected. The funny thing is I think they are quieter than stock. Maybe I am imagining things (placebo effect) but I swear they are quieter. I love them. When I come back from the cruise I might take a run up to the snow. I will keep you posted. The other guy to ask is Mcdrama he has the same in tires but in 215/45/17 (yeah mcdrama it was your post that got me to look into these tires).
