I finally got myself some wheels for this summer- So, of course, I had to have a little 'photoshoot' These make the biggest visual difference out of everything I've done, but performance-wise, it's a coin-toss. The tires are a huge improvement over my studless snowtires, but I can definitely feel the extra weight (and inertia) in the wheels. Better handling and traction, but less get-up.

 

Really nice wheels! Look great on it.

Now on another note, I would like to see it with the bra off. And I have heard bras do more damage then they protect it, so I would get some of that clear laminx stuff instead.

 

Thanks!


Now why do I always end up getting slapped when I say that? Trust me, it looks better with the bra. I got in a minor accident a while back and had to replace the bumper skin- but I could only find a black one. So, when the bra is off, it still looks like it is on. I don't want to pay to paint the front bumper until I have the $$$ to do a RS conversion at the same time... maybe this summer...

 

That sucks, hope you can get it painted soon. I actually like the two tone look.

 

Time for bigger for bigger front rotors and lose the bra but otherwise good!

 

I was going to swap out w/ wrx stock brakes, but my 15" winter wheel/tire setup wouldn't clear those. With no turbo and well under 200hp, I think these will suffice for now, at least. And about the bra, well, that's been covered... no need to rub it in.
