Looks nice. NIce lip....I wonder how much it weighs?

Having a big fat lip is so in right now with most of the other import car nuts but that craze does not seem to have hit the subaru crowd yet.

Well, definitely post some pics once you get them!!!! I'd love to see the fitment on the WRX... Any idea on the offsets? and widths available?

Oh and yeah, I havent been frequenting the forums for the last few weeks... Sorry I'm a bit behind

Yeah the black wheel w/ polished lip look is something I've always done to my cars... (the cars always been black) It's just the style I found to be sporty yet not too "loud"... I've actually been waiting for Rota to finally make a wheel like this, and maybe after several emails from myself (with no replies) and others constantly asking for an SSR replica... They perhaps put 2 and 2 together and made this!

ANYBODY who has these mounted, please post pics!!!

I drive a Legacy GT, so I won't be able to show you what they look like on the WRX. As I know it, there is only 17x7.5 et+48 in 5x100 available right now.

There is only one set in the US right now, and the rest should be showing up next week IIRC.

Yeah, I got mine through Suby Dude.

I actually just had to cancel my order, though, as the wheel won't clear my brakes

That's bogus!!!! Rota does one thing right and jacks another up??? Jebus! Since they barely clear stock brakes, I'm guessing theres no chance in hell they will clear the 06?

id rather not take any risks with a car like this and throw spacers on, youre just asking for things to loosen up... i dunno...
