I didn't mean to bash your wheels really.. just let you know there are other options out there that probably look better. But that is personal preference. However, i think it's important that people are aware of their options.

Contrary to some people's opinions, I do know quite a bit about Subarus. I don't go around saying things about Nissans, Hondas, or other cars because I don't know enough about them. Subarus, however, I do know.

Did you pull that out of your ass? I mean seriously please tell me you based that on something more than "body roll" last time i checked LESS body roll = better handeling.

Yes, you can use that to your advantage in certain circumstances, but generally that just translates into more push and less front end traction...

Besides what does rubbing have to do with handleing?
Also, if you could see his tires are stretched, fenders are pulled, etc.. this is to PREVENT rubbing. Trust me the car doesn't rub.

Well, my experience in racing has to do with vehicles with 6" tall wheels that weigh 170 lbs., so I may have overdramaticized the effect, but it is still there...

MAybe it was the way the picture was taken, but that sure as hell looks like it'll rub on the first fast corner it takes.
Anyway...where and what time folks? Also, Friday or Saturday night?
