Hehe,
I dont really like them either.
I bought the car with them already on it.
I really like the Volk GTF"S, does anyone have pics of an 06 sti with 18" GTFs on for comparison? Im still not 100% on what size I should go for. I know 19" would look great though, as they do on ISASTI's black sti.

Just think about ANY performance aspect of your STi...ANY...and then realize that these wheels kill it. Oh, also, take your ABS unit out of your car and throw it away. Aaah man, please get rid of them. Please.

I agree. Looks like sh*t. You do have to give him the benifit of the doubt that he bought the car with the wheels on it.

BriTtO - IMO 19's are too big. You will have the best appearance and performance with 17" or 18" wheels. Again..this is my option.

Yeah sell them dubs... Honestly why 19's??? If your main concern is appearance which is fine to each his own do 18's.. I would never go bigger then a 17 but thats me plus 19 tires are $$$$$.. I guess what I mean is I dont see the point of 19's especially on the STI.. But good luck
