The sidewalls don't flex as much as the 16's from last season, so I think they are a good fit on the STi, they would probably work good on the EVO too sergio...

I can't believe how much lighter my stockers are than the P1's.... I was pulling out of a parking lot into traffic, so I blipped the throttle and let the clutch out halfway pretty quickly like I would normally to get moving quickly. Instead of going, the inside front tire just screamed in protest as I spun it... finally everything hooked up and the car bolted down the road.
I'm also having to get used to the lack of steering feedback on those things...
Skinny, light wheels with low traction is much different than the wide, heavy, sticky tires I'm used to running around on!
