havent picked em up yet, but i scored em for an AMAZING price from a buddy of mine

18x8 Rota P45F in Cosmic Blue, w/ 235/40/18 Azenis on em (~ 5kmiles old)

not my car (or his), but showcases how the cosmic blue looks on a black car.

Jeff, if they're good price, definitely go for them. I love the colour and look. I like these much better than Rota SDR because these have nice distinctive lip.

Azenis are awesome, had them last summer. The only personal opinion is 18" I personally wouldn't want.

^^**** you eric. you're just jealous mine are bigger than yours :)

yes, they're different. i really dont care whether or not anyone likes them, but to be honest, im getting kind of sick of seeing EVERYONE and their mother with Torque's or TarmacII's or even BBS's. they're overdone, WAY too much. i really wanted some SpeedLine's or something, but something about magnesium rims + budget = non-existant?

hopefully i'll have em soon.

I agree 100%. I'm thinking of some Tarmac 3's or G-Forces... don't know if I'll do 17 or if I can get away with 18's... suggestions?

18's will be fine. i like the gforce a little more because they dont have the little lip on them. but i myself will be going with some 18" steel grey tarmac 3's on toyo's.

I never liked the look of 18's with low profile tires. theres gotta be some cushion for the pushin!!!
.......and by that i mean good ride quality
........not a large booty
........but a badonkadonk works too

-------the rims look nice btw jasper

somethingpink you could try my rota's sometime too and see how they look on yours if want. i have the steel gray Rota SDR 17" on the yellow wrx at the meets. look at them tonight if want.

looking good, im going for something similar to that, probably gunna get 5 spoke black ones with a shiny lip (not chrome.. just SS or Aluminum)

are the ones you got bigger than 16 inches? if so, what are you going to do about how the car judges it's speed? ECU reflash? i'm asking cuz i want to get 17 or 18 inch rims on mine but i dont know how it will affect the car...

when i went from 16's to 17's my car now drives 1.5mph slower than what the speedometer reads, barring my gps is fully acurate, but it should be. it tells me how fast i am walking for god sake :)

its 100% dependant on tire size, not rim size

205/55/16 = 225/45/17 = 225/40/18

^^VERY useful link.

my rolling diameter will be identical to stock.
