Finally purchased new tires and rims for my 06 WRX Limited. Went with Sparco Trofeo 5s in bronze. They look great in my opinion. The tires are Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 because they where cheap and had a $100 rebate. OOveral I’m thrilled and my wife even likes them.

Light is going down or I’d take more pictures. Plus it is very beat up and needs a new hood, fender, bumper cover and door skin. Thanks deer. And parking lot idiots.

Very nice! I need new summer wheels on mine. The old legacy snowflakes eight need to be sanded and fixed or just get all new ones

I almost bought these for my Forester. They just work so well with Subarus.

Yeah, I couldn’t decide between those, the ekm3 enkei or the assetto gara.

I sand blasted the stock rims and have never had them powder coated. I probably will do them for my wife’s Forester for winter tires.

Thanks, I’m very happy with them so far.

Bronze or gold is really the only choice for the WRX. Anything else and it just doesn’t look right. Very nice.

All would be good choices. I was about wo minutes from buying Assetoo Gara’s when a set of OEM Enkeis from an XT fell into my lap on CL.

I had painted the stock rims black. And I think I’ll still get them precipitated black for the winter set for my wife’s Forester.

Honestly I prefer the XT rims. They look great on Foresters.

How do you like the tires? I’m looking at these for my car because the deal seems great and I figure I don’t need “extreme performance” for a sedan.

You’ll like the evo2s. Great tires.

I’ve only put 50 miles on or so. Mostly to work and back so I can’t say for sure, but they are extremely grippy and not too loud. Probably more extreme then I’ll ever need. Definitely can tell that my suspension could use some work if I wanted to autocross or track day.
