Lots of STi folk use the Rotas over the "nicer" factory BBS's because in '04, the BBS's are only 7.5" wide. The extra .5" means running 245's instead of 225's. *Never* underestimate the importance of tire width... I picked up several seconds per lap at RFR by going from 255 RA1's on 8" wide wheels to 225 Pilot's on 9" wide wheels.
