NOW WITH 100% LESS STI!
Default

I did. But, I saw the order they sent to Rota - Rota messed up. I said f it. I figured I'm putting STI OE tires one STI OE wheel size ('04). And, they are significantly lighter than the 17x8 Rota Boosts that the tires were mounted on.

Matthew offered to return the wheels to Rota for 17x8s prior to mounting. But, Rota didn't have 17x8 in flat black. I was planning on running graphics, and flat black had already been cut to match. Had I know the flack I'd pick up for running a WRX Wagon with graphics (from normal people) I would have gone with 17x8 in Gold which were available, no extra charge, no issues. He did refund a bit back on the 17x7.5 v. 17x8 price difference as well.

Out the door I ended up at $650 installed with lugs (McGard aluminum) for the 17x7.5, about $150 less than WheelDude.com. I am also awaiting a $100 rebate
