I do not believe that Rota makes a 16inch subzero. I would say go with 17's if you can find them. Also, what plans do you have for your car as far as application goes. Again, price will depend on your application. Do a search and I am sure that you will find a lot of good recommendations for tires.

I have the 18's on my car, but if you dont like that I say go with the 17's...the Subzero is a sweet looking wheel...what color are you planning on going with?
I have the kumho tires on mine and I am pretty happy with them...they are a good tire for the price...

w/ stock height you will notice a gap.
its rally up to you on what look you are going for.
IMO lowring it 1-1.5 inches will do wonders for the handling and look.

Do you have a picture of your subzeros ? if you are willing to sell how much ? ?
I just dont want to be worrying about speed bumps,dips, etc.
-if i just lower it a 1.5" will it be likely that i'll be scratching up my car ?
whats the difference between the coilovers and the lowering springs ? which is better? im new at all of this so i dont know much

Just a to remind, you that these cars are designed to run really well with the ride height. Subaru designed it that way, which is why it seems like the car is a monster truck. If you look at anyone with a full prodrive setup on the older Imprezas, you will see that the drop is minimal because they want to keep the ride height.
