Thumbs up: 15" to 17" wheels

When I bought my 2001 Legacy sedan, I wasn't much into cars. I figured 15" wheels were enough. Then I got into Gran Turismo and things went from there.

Shot of my car with the stock 15" wheels and 205/60-15 RE92s:




After installing the Rota SDRs and 225/45-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE950s:



It shouldn't surprise anyone that there's a huge difference in handling. The car feels more confident in pretty much every situation. Doesn't hurt that the car looks a good bit better now too. What better way to treat myself after finishing grad school and landing my first real job?

Thanks to SubyDude for the great customer service on the wheels. They were a pure pleasure to deal with.

I actually posted there before I hit here. Your gallery didn't have NEARLY enough Legacy pics. I don't know if it's because not many Legacy owners are buying wheels, or if they're just not posting them. Either way, I've got to help my crew represent.
