Subydude kicks butt

Got a new set of rims for my WRX from Subydude of course. I ordered my last set of rims for my lancer through them and was so pleased with the service I didn't even consider going elsewhere. Anyways, I went with 17 x 8 Rota Torques in hyperblack. I'm hoping it'll go really well with the darker grey of my car. Quite a few cars on NASIOC have the same color scheme and I think it looks pretty kickass. Here's a few pics. I tried to show how variable the color is depending on how much light it around.

Yeah I wanted the boosts in hyperblack but the only color they had in my size was flat black.

Here's an example of how the rims look on a WRX/STI. This car is the same as mine with almost the same rims (the ones shown here are 18s).

I dunno, IMO: rotas just look sooo cheap, esp wit those centercaps. The only rotas i like are p45r's and the knock off of the SSR Pro comps (basically..anything with a bit of concave to it). For the price, you cant really complain though

They look cheap cause they are cheap, I can't rationalize spending big bucks on Volks, Gram Lights, Work, etc. when I don't race and don't compete in shows.

The wheels look very nice on that color. I wonder how it will match with the evo's gg?

nice wheels but you should have gone with more aggressive size/offset

18x9.5 +35 ROTA Torques

I'm not a big fan of giant wheels, hence why I didn't go with 18s or bigger. As for the offset, I didn't want to roll my fenders and I'm only going to be running a 235 size tire so there's no point in having a 9.5 inch wide rim.
