Not the crispest shots, but should give you a good idea. These are 19x8.5 +32mm front and 19x10 +25mm rear. Stock ride height.

Good luck!

those are 19"??? that dont look to bad at all. i am planning to put my 19" bbs lmr on for tempt but was afraid it was going to look small. very nice.

what size tires are you running? are you lowered?

I was thinking 19" would look a little small but to my surprise they dont...Heres what it would look like with an agressive drop and white reflectors!

I have seen 19" LMR and they do look too small. The reason the LM looks bigger is the design. If youre going with LMR get it in 20". U will regret it if you get it in 19 because they will look too small.

Thanks! Running 245/30 up front and 275/30 in rear, stock ride-height...very little sidewall, so I'm extra careful with potholes and speedbumps...

I was thinking about lowering it, but not sure yet...given this is my DD with school drop-off duty, not sure I want to jounce my kids to death. Not to mention, make them deaf with the Eisenmann Race on there! =)

Thanks for the preview!

You obviously havent had a good quality coilover system yet. I went from H&R (horrible) to PSS9s (awesome) to KWv2 (the best) and I can honestly say the ride can be adjusted to *almost* stock comfort. You will hardly notice a difference if you set it up properly. You should re-consider man.

I dont like

Go for the black Breytons

Well......I have no experience with this car.

Actually, I'm sponsored by AST/Vorshlag/Whiteline on my track car and have the opportunity to go 'all out' with this one...just not ready for that plunge. Unfortunately, I have the propensity to go overboard on things and don't want to kill this car like I have with my other...so while I'm at it, here's what's been done to my track car (2007 Subaru STi):

Intake/Header/Exhaust (TS Performance):
APS 65mm CAI
Grimmspeed 8mm Phenolic Spacers
Grimmspeed High-Flow Up-Pipe w/External Wastegate (venting to atmosphere)
Grimmspeed Ported/Polished/Ceramic-Coated OEM Turbo
Grimmspeed Ported/Polished/Ceramic-Coated Throttle Body
Grimmspeed Ported/Polished Intake Manifold
Grimmspeed Ported/Polished/Ceramic-Coated Exhaust Manifold/Cross-Over Pipe
Grimmspeed TGV Delete
APS Catless Turbo-Back 3” Exhaust
APS High-Volume Top Mount Intercooler
APS 3" Turbo Inlet
APS Dual BOV

Motor (RynoMoto):
Blueprinted/Balanced Rotating Assembly (con-rods, crankshaft, pistons)
Blueprinted Shortblock (stock bore) w/custom oil channeling and race bearings
Wiseco Coated/Forged Pistons with hand-filed Rings
ARP Grade 8 mains, connecting pins, studs
Stage 1+ Ported/Polished Heads w/2-angle valve job
Brian Crower Valvetrain with custom lashing for high-rpm use
Customized 08 STi Oil-Pump (Hi-Volume)
Heat-Dispersant Coating (Black)

Fuel/Tuning (AWDTuning):
Custom ECU/Engine Management Tune (E85)
AlkyControl Alcohol/Methanol Injection Kit (5gph)
Deutcshwerks 1085cc Fuel Injectors
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
Pro-Drive 3-Port Boost Solenoid

Chassis/Brakes (TS Performance):
Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Girodisc/Stoptech Full Floating Slotted Front Discs, Slotted Rear Discs
Pagid (PSS19) Front & Rear Race Brake Pads
AST 4100 Single-Adjustable Coilovers, Spring Rates: 400F/350R
Vorshlag Front/Rear Camber Plates
Whiteline 27mm Front & Rear Sway Bars ('Soft' Front, 'Medium' Rear)
Whiteline Spherical Bearing Front & Rear Endlinks
Whiteline Heavy Duty Front & Rear Sway Bar Mounts
Whiteline Roll Center Adjustment Kit
Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit
Whiteline Toe Lock Kit
Whiteline Camber Bolts Front & Rear
Whiteline Rear Lateral Links
Whiteline Strut Tower Bars Front & Rear
Whiteline Differential Support-Lock Bushings
Whiteline Steering-Rack Bushings
Whiteline Gearbox Mount Bushings
Corner Balanced, 1% left/right differential
-4/-3.5 Camber
-.1 Toe Out Front, 0 Toe Rear

Interior/Driveline:
Recaro SRD Seats
Kartboy Short Shifter/Shifter Busings
5Zigen FN01-RC w/JDM Direzza 03G 'R' Compound Tires

Though not complete, this setup should yield a reliable ~380-400whp (upgrading to a GT3076HTA will get me into the ~450-500whp, right now I'm on the stock VF43) capable of sub 1.24 times on the 1.7 CCW at MSR-Cresson.

Sorry for the long post, but I went into a roll...just to excited about my car (it'll be done mid-October...I blew the motor out at the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge).

Anyway, we'll see on the lowering... =)
