Which would you run

05 wagon in Silver, will be going with prodrive springs after rims and tires. I'm having a hard time liking most of the Rota line for some reason so here's what I'm looking at

ASA AR1 Chrome

ASA ARI Silver

I kinda like the fact that ASA uses the same casting techniques as BBS. These would be in a 48mm spacing. I know chrome on a WRX is kind of a no-no, but imho, it looks better than the sliver finish on this rim. My only worry is that after I slap em on, I look at it and say, "why did I ghetofy my poor little wagon". The machined lip on the silver helps out a little, but I'm lost on this one

Rota SDR in gun metalic

Rota Torque in gun metalic

For any of the setups I'd be looking at running 225/45-17

Between the Rotas, I'm leaning SDR, but the torques have their up days. My wife and I bought the car in December and I have been looking at rims since before I picked the car up. The only reason I didn't just have them added at the point of sale is because I coulnd't make up my mind. 9 months later, I'm in the same boat.

Let's hear it from the peanut gallery

No chrome! Too bling. Anything else is fine except gold which is bad color for your car. Get the black.

Torques have a real Clean look. Bronze and steel grey look nice.
