Thanks all!

It took me a while to decide on wheels. Ordered 17x8 48mm Rota G Force in Flat Black knowing my plans for graphics. They shipped 17x7.5 48mm. I said screw it, throw 'em on, stock STi size anyway, ya know? Anyway, after finding casting flaws in one and getting a replacement, I'm good to go. No, I think I should have upped the anti and forked out for Enkei RPF1s for summer/track wheels. Oh well, it is what it is.

Now that I'll be removing all of the graphics, I'm so wishing I had gone for 17x8 (maybe with less offset as well) gold G Forces

I think they look so much better on the WRB.

I'm super happy with the wagon so far. Replacing a Grand Cherokee, so thought I needed the space. I do, and likely would not have been happy with the alternatives - a cherry '06 Evo (too much) or a decent '05 STi (I thought the fuel economy would have been better in the WRX).

But, thanks for the warm welcome, and kind words. And yep, planning for the auto-x in October.
