Looks decent. I love the rims themselves but I'm not a big fan of 19's. To each his own though.

How does it ride with those? Not many people running 19s on subes out there.

Awesome rims, but i think it looks kinda funny with that gigantic wheel gap.

What everyone else said. You need to lower your car. Looks like an SUV with that huge gap.

Sound like some great mods are in the works. If you think it's a tough crowd here, try NASIOC.

...opinions? Personally I think they look totally out of place on a WRX. I was never one for the large "wagon wheel" look but it's just my personal opinion. Some things that may help aesthetically are larger brakes, lowering (as mentioned), larger/wider tire, etc.

Aren't 19's a little.... too big? Just IMHO...
Like everyone else said, make sure you lower it.
Anyhow, congrats!

I think you need bigger brakes.
