WTLW Matt, you n00b
What do you guys think ??

I wonder if these wheels fit a WRX ??
Anyone know about this ??
With the wheels and the wing like that .. It reminds me of my Jetta..

Second question: Do they fit my Jetta??? :twisted: :lol:

and all along I thought I was gonna be the first to buy an EEE-VOH. :cry:
as a side note:
I went and got a freakin hair cut at like cost cutters or great clips or whatever the place is and the lady who cut my hair took like 45 minutes and talked to me whole time about, her work schedule, traffic, wheather, her and her husband riding a motorcycle to the bay area, you know, stuff I really, REALLY dont give a shit about. :shock: Where is a good place for a cut where they wont make you sit through almost an hour of mind numbing chatter, and I had to nod and make small laughing sounds so I didn't look like a complete misanthrope. It really makes me want to go and shave my head with clippers instead of getting a real haircut, Am I the only one who thinks it's torture having to fein small talk when geting your hair cut. BAH!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
That was the funniest SHORT Story I have ever read !!!!
Ohh and as for being the first one to get an EVO, I am sorry I blew it dude!!! :cry: Well maybe you can be the first to get a blue or yellow or better yet .. black EVO :twisted: :)

I go to Happy Lookers off Moana. Its a good shop and I have known the owner for 10+ years.
Hey.. That's EXACTLY the same place i go to and ahve been for YEARS as well .. the owner is really cool .. He and his wife run the place and everytime I go there as soon as I walk into the door he says, hello Sergio (In his middle eastern Accent) and gets me in, no waiting .. I think its cool to know that you are appreciated as a Customer and not as "Revenue" :D

Looks good!
Sorry to say Mike and Matt..... am starting to really like the looks of the EVO over the STi. It must be the lack of the monster hoodscoop.

Good lord... $2300 for some friggin rims? Those better be like 2-lb ultra-strong racing wheels for that price. I could throw my struts in the trash and put a complete dual A-arm front suspension on my car for that kind of money...

Welcome to high end Japanese products. If we all had 'stangs we could just head over to Sears and get some ARs for $75 a pop. :P

Welcome to high end Japanese products.
Read: Ridiculously Overpriced. A friend of mine who autocrosses a CP car has lightweight dedicated racing rims that I think cost about the same as those Art posted, with racing slicks mounted on them. They're like 16x11-12" wide with 315 or some other such monstrous size tires. Now those Volk's are only 18(unnecessary diameter, just adds weight)x8? Doesn't sound like very good performance for your dollar to me...

Or better yet, just use the stock 17x8's that came with the car for a total of $0, that's what I'm currently racing with. :lol: What's an AR?

Yeah, but what you're buying for that rediculous is shipping from Japan and exclusivity. I think Rota's are sweet looking rims, but since they're a dime a dozen everyone has 'em and they fail to turn heads anymore. People will pay that rediculous amount *because* they cost so much, and therefore will be rarely seen on cars in the US.
Needless to say, I'm not one of those people. :lol: My Rota Attacks cost 1/4 the price of the rims they're replicas of, are lighter and stronger, and fit over bigger breaks than the originals. Now that's what I'm talking about!

:lol: I should start an import performance shop on the side to sell overpriced crap to all the riced-out street racers (don't get me wrong, I'm calling anyone here that)... it could pay for my actual on-track racing. I'd be rich! I could sell quality products like an "Engine block oil bypass kit" (guaranteed +50hp from not having to pump all that oil around the motor...), and "Cross-drilled Brake Lines" (more brake cooling from the air passing through the lines)!

No need to apologize, I wish more people would buy Evo's. I really like them too. I think they are a good deal ( in most cases :? ), and they are extremely easy to build into a super car. Besides, everyone that buys an STI becomes a grumpy elitist like me and Mike 8) and thats no way to be, we want to be special...BUY AN EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana:

is 1500 for rims crazy overpriced?
whats the spending limit on rims before you look lame?
Eventually my SSR wheels will be dedicated race wheels, so the lightness I payed for them will be more worth it to me then.
Everyone notices the SUV's rolling on 20's nowadays I mean like every other Explorer and Denali and (insert lame name here )has a set of $3,000 rims.
It makes the import scene look like flea market rim shoppin.
Edit: You guys do a lot of posting during the day. don't you have to work. :twisted:

Hey, if they're lightweight and for racing more power to ya, you're putting them to good use. Otherwise it's all about looks(which like you said aren't even that special anymore since everyone has bling-bling rims), and I don't see the point.. to someone like me with not much money to keep racing on these days, that's just a big waste. You know me, I'm all about go and not show.
Hey guys what do you think?

I really like that dark gray color!
However, they stripped a lot out of that car... like A/C... unless I was buying it specifically for a race conversion, then it's not worth it. In fact, I could buy an older, lighter EVO from overseas for cheaper and have a better race car when all is said and done, right?
That said, it's still a sick car, people are thinking it'll be an AS autocross killer... hehe, sorry Matt! I'm glad we're getting these more race specific models in the States, a lot of people are speculating Subaru might follow suit with a real deal STi Type RA Spec C, instead of the half breed Spec C that we got. Personally, I wouldn't want a Spec C myself, but it'd be cool if it were an option!
