08 looks sick. i think it would look better with 19's. the 05 with 08 rims do look a little chunky.

The silver car looks like something a former big block camaro owner would do after switching from domestic to import until he/she started to look at other imports and read forums

I agree the the 05 needs a drop. I think it looks good but in desperate need of a drop. Then the rims will tie in nicely.

i think the 08's would look better on the 05 if the 05 was lowered, and at the sti rims were 17's not 18's, the car looks lifted lol

but the 08 looks clean
