Keep the wheels, in my opinion there is no need to have VOLKS or ADVAN wheels just to be "cool" in the eyes of others, it's your car and you should decide.

The question is....If you were to change the wheels, what wheels would you put on? I can think of nicer wheels to put on, but the wheels currently on don't look too bad. I think a set of Advan RSs would look better IMHO.

Personally, I would only upgrade my wheels to improve the performance of the vehicle.
For example, the wheels are lighter, slightly wider to put more rubber on the ground, slightly taller to accomodate larger brakes, etc.
Although majority of Rota wheels look very nice, they usually are same size as stock ones and substantially heavier than stock BBS wheels.
Very very good price on most of their wheels though.

i think the wheels look good. USDM IX tails would look badass on that car. why do your tires look small?

i think they make the car look evil. In a good way. I would leave them alone. Just my opinion.

I had Rota Tarmac II's on my wrx. I was having some crazy noises coming from my diff (good ole wrx hehe). I took it to a shop, put it on a lift, jacked it up while up on the lift, and had the car run in cruise control so we could locate the noises. This was after about a year of having the wheels on the car. Each wheel was slightly bent and rotated off axis.

The wheels went through lots of spirited driving...nothing crazy. No accidents. Maybe I just got a bad set of Rotas.
