I got the car in the middle of December and paid $33,500 for this car and got the BBS package because I am a G. So I can and do plan on getting some better wheels than these heavy ass New BBS 18x8.5 and they will be the Winter wheels only painted all black.

I actually bought the car and the next day went and bought some Nokian 245/40R18XL Hakkapeliitta RSi snow tires and mounted them on the stock wheels the sh!tty stock dunlop tires are at my house in storage. Now i just need to get the Stocks painted black

BTW Rota's are light, look good, come in a grip of different colors, perform nearly as good as Volks, or any rays wheels for that matter. Not only that but there is nothing in their price range that can even Compete. You should do some research about the 2008 BBS wheel weights, they come in at the mid 20's ewwwwww......

Oh and I am not really feeling paying 2600 - 3000 dollars for volks/rays when my car will never be in a car show... Would rather spend that money on power then a name ..... Unless of course I have the money in which case I would in a minute drop 3k on a nice set of 18x9.5 30+ TE37, CE28N, RE30, in timeattack or all black those would be very very shweeeeeet : D! I Love volk but not much sense in the purchase its a baller mod not a practical mod....

Well Actually on the other hand some custom painted to match my car CCW C14 18x9.5 would be pretty damn sick those are still less than Volks of similar size but are pricey : / decisions.....

I'm not going to say anything regarding your Rota comments.

Am I a show guy? **** no.

there is a reason people buy Volks, gramLights, ect. and it isn't only b/c they want to be "baller" or "look good" or have a "massive e-dick".

Volks happen to have a pretty damn good MY08 STi fitment that's been available for years now. Then again you do have to want run an aggressive setup for it to work and if it would work on stock suspension I'm not 100% sure considering there isn't much data out there currently.

i think a 9.5 +30mm would be a little low in the offset range unless you're into the whole stretched 235 on a 9.5" wheel look.

being closer to a +40 or +45mm seems to be the ideal.

and yes a set of 18x9.5 CCW C14s would be nice.

I was never a fan of black wheels, unless they are steelies.
