Advice on wheels?

WW Sportback Ralliart. I am just wondering what people like better, as I will be making the decision soon. Thanks.

You are actually reading my mind on the 3rd option my friend. I do plan to get them myself on the wicked white. What color is yours?


EDIT: NVM about the color..just read the beginning again.

I am actually leaning towards the Cuzco's, although I am waivering. They look pretty slick on this WW RA and whit Subaru.

So ya mine is a WW Sportback. I like the Type M's too, but I think the Cuzco's may look better on our cars. It's all about preference, as both options are pretty sweet.

I know...I hate the skinny Dunlops, but will probably run them for one spring/summer. I just bought the car and have spent lots on mods already aha. Grrr Dunlops. I can't wait for wider rubber.

What color are you thinking? Matte Black? Charcoal?

Leaning towards the charcoal for the type-m 2nd gen. to show the effect of its color from the white, to the black tires, then showing the charcoal with its silver lining on the ring part as well as the middle part of the rim. IMO it shows the offset of its color better for me. The Cuzco really nailed the head with the Subie and can really look good on your sportback. But I do not have the sportback though.

Fair enough. I wish you luck and I hope it looks great. You will have to post some pics. My only concern is that the car sits kinda high and I don't want to lower it. The OEM wheels look good, but I wonder if it will look "funny" with the Tenzo Cuzco's.

That's a good question about looking "funny" without lowering with new wheels on it. But I am sure that others are willing to share their experience and thoughts. If you go with a medium drop, I think the swift springs drop about 1.5 which is not a major drop and I am sure it would look good as in "almost" stock height. I plan to use swifts or pedders coilovers but I have other things are first in order before this car can be played with.
