Rota Subzero Wheel

I ordered some Rotas Subs for my 2002 WRX Sedan. I was wondering if anyone knew how they do on a complete stock car? Is there any problems or concerns with the size difference, or is it no problems at all. I will only be in the states for two weeks and the wheels are waiting for me, I just want to be able to throw them on and go.
Thanks.
Here's the size:
Rota Subzero Wheel 17x7.5 5x100 48mm

Lendog- I have a set of Rota Subzeroes for my car and they fit excellent. It looks like you ordered the correct wheel size specific to Subarus (17x7.5, 5x100 lug pattern and 48mm offset), so you will have no problems at all as far as fitment.

Cool

Thanks for the reply. 2 1/2 more weeks and get to drink some real beer, and I'm going to take a road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway from Oregon to California. I can't wait! Then, it back in storage and back in this damn desert!

I bought mine because they were cheap and refuse to go back to stock. With an upgraded swaybar and strutbar setup, it's like a whole new car. 17" wheels with some Zrated tires and you'll have a lot of fun. The car sticks to the ground like it's on rails...which some people think is a little boring (me) but feels super sturdy. Good luck

Is there any other wheels like the rota's? I just want anything with the same quality and good price give or take $100-200 that is gunmetal w/ machined lip. I was going to get subzeros but so many people have them..

They ROCK!!!

I just got back from vacation, which sucks. I had a great time with my car while I had it. I put 2k miles in the two weeks. I headed from Oregon to the redwood highway then to SF and across to Yosemite up to Tahoe then back up to Portland. What a great loop that was with my new wheels. I pushed my car to the edge at some points, safely of course, gotta watch for bears and elk. The wheels and tires look great and perform great as well. It was a little more bumpy in the gravel when I went camping, but hey that's what my stock wheels are for when I hit the log roads on future drives.
Well, she's back in storage and now I'm back to driving my rental Mitsubishi piece of garbage.

I'll be back in Portland in January for a few more weeks to enjoy my car. This time it'll be on stock wheels with super aggresive studs for the mountain.
Here's a photo from my last trip.
