OK, These were at my office when I got in today!





The tires are toyo proxies T1Ss 225/45-17

I so can't wait until the end of the day today now... Plus I have my Mom's landcruiser at work today because it's tuesday night which is the night I race sailboats, and I need her hitch to put the boat in... Looks like It will be go sailing, go to the rents house swap cars, swap wheels, then have a late night "testing" my new wheels tires...

I will post pictures of them on the car and impressions as soon as they arte avaliable, but no earlier than tomorrow. Also what is the corrdct way to "break in" tires? I hope I like these toyos. I wanted Flaken GRB-FK 451s, but they couldn't get them for a month or 2 and my Blizacks are getting sick in the heat!

be sure to post some pix at the gallery...

I will dude, but I kinda want to get the car clean first! I will post some quick pics this afternoon, but for now I can say these tires are AWESOME! Although I did just take off Blizacks, and I was driving my Mom's Landcruiser for the last 3 days, but the car is SO MUCH FUN now! My buddy has a stock wrx with potenzas, so I think we are going to swap cars for a few miles on the way home for a real compairison, but for now there are wonderful tires. Quite, and they handle very well.

Oh yeah, and the full royal gunmetalic is very nice... I love the way they look. Very similar to the M3 rims for those that are wondering. And the combo weights 40.2 lbs.

Quick and dirty pictures:




look at the reflection:



Loving both the wheels and the tires. Looks great and handles even better. Subydude, I will post these on the gallery later. And My 04 prodrive springs are "in the mail" and should be on in a week or two, so I don't want to hear about the gap (although I think it might look better now than with stockers due to the better offset and 7.5" width )

LINK to BIG pictures

very clean! My stock tires and wheels are hurtin' right now.

Looks awsome.

But who is rockin' that S4 parked right infront of your WRX?? Those things are SICK, especially if it is the V-8 one.

Funny... I have a WRX, and so does a guy that work with me. Our President has the new S4 (pictured) with the V8 and the owner has the older V6 TT S4 in Silver, so in the back row at work we have 2 S4s and 2 WRXs... I can beat the other WRX and the old S4, but haven't had a run in yet with the new S4... by the numbers I should be able to keep up 0~60 and lose the 1/4, but I think Audi probably underestimates their numbers a bit, so I think he might have me in both cases... Oh well, All 4 are fun cars.
Ben

those look sweet man and the s4 is hawt to lol

Thanks... now I get a whenever I wal up to my car... I HATE the stockers, and now these have transformed the look of the car for me... I love the way it looks, and it's getting close to the handling of the wife's MINI... Too bad I've been driving my Mom's Land Cruiser all weekend so I can put the boat in and out of the water...

Land Pig more like it

Ben

Not gunMETAL

Oh and jacobsen....is that an STi? Or did you just kit it up to look like one?

Sorry, but I'm too poor for an STi. And I promised my wife I wouldn't get one until we had a garage to park it in... and get her a MINI cooper S to replace her cooper...

It's a wrx with:
STi Corner Splitters
STi Fog Covers
Silver sideskirts
I badge
Cobb short throw (shorter than STi 6 speed shifter and the WRX short throw)
MOMO Race leather shifter
Shifter Bushings
Tranny Mount
Prodrive Springs "in the mail"
K&N
Hardwired radar and phone
And my new wheels and tires!

Full Royal Gunmetalic is Polished silver face and Black inside. Very nice look... look at the above link to subydude as you can see it very well there. I love them.

Ben

way to go jacobsen1! you car's lookin' good!

i see you stuck with the SDRs - and when your springs arrive, it'll look even better

i'm sticking with 16"s for the meantime (but upgraded to 225 width) - i got some nice RS 5-spokes from subrew2 (Chris) here in the forums

Nice car, ugly rims.
