I don't like chrome in general, but I like those wheels and a few other chrome/polished wheels I don't like ghetto rapper chrome, or black chrome for that matter.
Those wheels on a wrx are like wearing shiny dress shoes with a pair of distressed jeans and a tee shirt. |

I even tried using Wheel Wax and my Brembos still throw dust everywhere. The cross drilled rotors don't help either. Maybe next time around I will try the StopTech pads out.

New lugs on my '11 WRX with RPF1's. Maybe I should have taken a picture of the whole car, oops. Way better than the regular chrome ones they came with.

^^ Looks great olazy! Makes me wish I would have stayed with my original plan of getting coilovers before wheels!
Ever thought of maybe painting the OEM wheels black? |

I think this is the way to go. The stock 2011 wheels look great IMO. I like the dark grey color as-is. I think they look even better lowered and with spacers, but I know some people don't like spacers. |

i'd have to agree with xluben, i love the stock wheel color. i don't think i could get myself to spray them over. lately i've been thinking of getting a set of 15mm spacers for the stock wheels but i also have a set of chromium black xxr 527 (i know ) sitting in the garage, i've just been sleeping on rolling the fenders so they will fit (test fitting, wrong tire direction ) |

As for the coilovers/wheels, I'm thinking about keeping the OEM wheels longer and longer (at least until I can get a great deal on Works or something of similar quality). I'm thinking about taking the 25mm spacer route as well, Ben. If you buy the quality stuff and not the ebay junk, you shouldn't have problems. BTW - what's the widest tire you can fit on 8" wheels; 245s? |

Yeah, I ran stock wheels, coilovers and 25mm spacers last summer. No problems and I looked great!
What is the difference between the EBC Red and Green? |

Really, you can go a LOT wider than 255 on the OE 17x8's. Its just that you reach a point where the negatives outweigh the positive. My guess is that point occurs somehwere between 275 and 295.
It also has a LOT to do with what tire you use. Only the tires with the stiffest sidewalls work well pinched on a wheel. |
