Don't get me started about football (or American handball should it be called since handball actually exists)... Gimme a valid reason to watch 22 guys playing for ten seconds and stop all the time... Besides you are compelled to watch them for more than 3 hours although the effective game is one hour long. They take more time out than my middle schoolers!!!

Hey,
I have an spare set of PF45's 18"x8.5" I think...they be 18"x9". Either way they fit on my 2006 STI with out modding anything. I run them with 245/40/18 tires and I'm about 99% sure they will fit on your car without challenges. The have some curb rash and I primarily used them as winter wheels. You are more than welcome to borrow them until you figure out what you're gonna do about replacing your damaged wheels. They are hyperblack and they looked pretty cool on my black car.
Here is a link to the style:
Rota PF45 Wheels
Keep in mind the aforementioned link does not indicate the color the color looks more like this but darker:
18x10 Rota RT5 - Hyper Black (5x114.3/e30/73)
If you need borrow them for a while in order to get you mobile let me know when you can make it to San Rafael and we can meet up.
My name is Rich and feel free to drop me a line at 415.322.8430. Sorry that happened to you bradda. Your wheel may be able to be repaired but the typical wheel repair guy usually want $150-200/wheel. In my opinion you might be better off getting a whole new set. You can get a sweet set of Rotas for a little less than a G...depending on the style/size...etc. etc. At any rate, if you need something to get you on the road...my wheels are waiting. -Rich

I managed to find a set of brand new 2014 STi replacement rims from a friendly member of the BASG on Facebook. I might as well take this time to change out my clutch and throw in my inlet hose, so maybe it was a good thing that I almost died lol.

The STI racked up another kill last night. Looks like its just the bumper, i'm going to get an estimate in an hour... might need a good painter recommendation though if the body shop estimate is absurd, which i'm sure it will be.
Sigh. This is why we can't have nice things.

I saw it that night, blood and entrails strewn out across the road.
It was a small raccoon, crossing in a place where it had no business crossing.
(it never would have made it over the divider and would have had to turn around, or maybe it already discovered that and was on its way back)

So I just got my hid kit in the mail. Dose anyone having any experience on installing them. I found some how to Wright ups but can't find one that incorporates the relay harness. Just the ones that bridge the ballast between the stock headlight plug and hid bulbs.
