The stockers are actually pretty sexy on that car/color, and they're not dinky wheels - they're 8.5's stock. I'd go with some Enkei NT03's in a big fitment if you wanna go nuts, but not sure how much you want to touch the fenders.

If you want some 17's for winter, I still have your Sparco NT-R's that I'd give back to ya - they're jsut sitting in a corner of the garage.

Hey Eric... the CE28N's have been copied by Rota and sold so widely, they're actually common looking to me these days.

What about the Enkei GTC01's in 18x9.5+38? Too similar to the stock wheels?





On the other hand... I still love TE37s, even though they've been copied a bunch:



I like 'em so much, I put the cheaper Konig equivalent to the TE37 (Konig Spooled) on my Miata:





Also, the OZ Alleggerita's are bad-ass simple looking wheels. These are what I would have put on the wagon if I had the money to spare at the time, though I'm not sure if they come in a good wide fitment for a new STi:

I'm the same way on the CE28's. I still love the tiny bronze ones I have for the wagon - the real ones really do look different enough (and I've had the reps). TE37's do look sexy on the hatches. Some of the newer SSR's are pretty hot too.

Eric, dunno, $300? Make me an offer, you sold them to me cheap in the first place. They're sitting in a corner in the garage (they've been on my car for all of about 6 months total in the last 5 years) and I can use the summer tires I put on them for the wagon - let me know and I'll get the tires peeled and bring them up or catch you sometime when you're down.

I'm with you guys on the CE28s. I've only been fooled by replicas once. Still my favorite wheel.

All the cool kids are doing it. I can't believe I own 3 sets of rims and none are Rotas. I guess I'm growing up. *sniff*

While we're whoring it up...anyone have anything they wanna sell in a 5 x 114.5 for Carrie's '07 that would look hot?

Eric, I like your choice, I still think the CE28 is one of the best looking, especially in the wider size.

Oh, let me know if you want to get rid of your stockers, Eric...

I've got some hyper black FN01Rc's that have 5 year old race tires on them. 17x9+43

I've also got some stock '05 STi wheels in gold that I bought from Nick Sonder. Not sure Carrie would care for more stock wheels, and I'm not sure I want to sell them... the stock gold BBS are some of my favorite wheels... even if I don't have a car they really fit on right now.
