Meh, those rims are too "chromey". If they have a flat gun metal or maybe polished aluminum finish then I'm on board.

Hey JC, thanks for the wheel pics, if you come across ANY wheel pics on an STI , post them up, or at least a link, I'm trying to organize pictures of wheel options for my car for when I buy new rims in the spring. There are some sweet options surfacing now, all I need is to see the pictures.

It's not the polished lip I don't like on those, it's the black chrome... they'd look much better if the spokes weren't so shinny.

They aren't black chrome. They don't look so bling in person.

I like the P7's a lot, they are very refined (My new favorite word c/o Saab)...

I actually really like the way that STI looks...

Damn Mitsu drivers, wouldn;t know a good looking wheel if it was thrown thru your windshield. J/K Sergio.

Serg, you really don;t like those? I think their nice.

Those are the EDM wheels I think, and they are$$$, but yes, they look cool.

You like these ones Matt? Come on the Advan TCII are only 600 a piece go for it.

Is 47 a high enough offset?

Did you see GRUPPE-S Is starting a STi wheels section!

Hey Matt, those EDM wheels are by far the best wheels subaru has come out with .. ofcourse shy of the BBS on your STi
I like mine but I think they could have gone with a nice Mesh style BBS (Like the RSII) I was thinking of getting mine podwer coated either WHITE or GOLD or maybe BLACK .. I think it would look awesome

Those aren't just EDM wheels, I believe all STi's except the US version come with those, as well as all non-US/Canada WRX's. For the US STis they decided to toss the BBS on 'em, and of course the US/Canada WRX's get the 16" versions. To be honest, the WRX really could use the 17's stock...

Hmmm.... Then I think we should have been able to pick wheels with either the WRX or the STi ..and Yes, I think you are right Scott the WRX should have had 17's right fdrom the get go because it is a nice addition to a sports car + Performance #'s would have (maybe) looked better
