Just got my HyperSilver Enkei EKM3's. Same exact size rim/tire as stock (18") but now it really looks like it needs dropped, so that's next. Anyway, here's a couple shots

I really like the white. Wish they made less gaudy exhaust kits for the WRX, but it looks good anyway. Awesome car.

theres a few companys that make nice exhausts that dont have the jdm style muffler. they look stock but to me they dont sound as good as the vibrant, hks carbon ti, etc etc.

No doubt, the HKS sounds so nice on the wrx/sti.

Cobalt SS/TC wheels


Wheels: Focal F163 ‘Gunmetal’ 18”x8”
Wheels: 42mm offset 22.5lbs
Tires: BFG G-Force T/A KD 225/40ZR18
Drop: 0”
Wheel spacers: 5/16” front, 3mm rear
Hubcentric rings: 72.62mm to 65.10mm
Stock wheel studs with “tuner” lugs - 12mmx1.50”
Wheel lug holes are drilled to 5/8” to fit tuner lugs.
Installation: Wheels won’t clear SS/TC calipers without the 5/16” front wheel spacers. These wheel spacers require the ‘tuner’ lug nut, because there is not enough thread left on the stock wheel studs for a stock lug nut. There is a light rub between the tire and the inner fender during turning, due to the use of the wheel spacers.
Next: Looking for a modification to eliminate the massive understeer.

Why didn't you just get rims that fit?
