Would these look good on mine?

[Lampard]

Hey there guys,

So I'm thinking of spicing up my car during the holidays as I finally have time to spare, and I'm thinking of changing my rims on the BE5. I was wondering if these would look good on it: http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=391824515

Here's what mine are at the moment:

Your opinion would be most appreciated, and even if other sets look better I would love to hear it.

Thank you so much!

Not really to the first, and absolutely NOT to the second. Not unless you wanna look like a rice queen.

Oh hahha, really? The second ones? I reckon they dont look that bad. =P

But um, do you think you could guide me? haha. I reckon the User "B4 2000" has a beautiful set of rims.

Really? haha, mine is too high?

aftermarket wheels at stock ride height is cringe worthy big time. i'd rather have your factory set over either of the options you've provided too. your car will look 1000x better lowered on the stock set than with any aftermarket wheel at the current height. plus your car will handle and feel better. do that first, then think about wheels. and don't buy the cheapest set you can find.

otherwise putting a GT wing on it instead could be a go?

lower it on some RSB/ GTB stock 17s. im sure you will be happy with the result

[turborunner]

what about my gold 16" v2 sti rims with Bridgestone adrenelins re001 4months used tyres? and do what Saltan suggest lower it will make abit of differance in the apearance and maybe tint that windows if they havvnt been done, but yeah 17" will probably look better maybe the wrx sti v8 rims gold or painted a different colour? or even these blisten 17" rims http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/cars/subaru/photos/a-392184118/p-178774997.htm

Dtm demons 17-18 look mint on b4 the bigger the better but lowering is must nobody likes a monster truck on after market wheels lol

[Lampard]

Wow thanks for the advice guys! Keep it coming if you got more, I'm getting a bigger idea. Thank you guys! I really appreciate it!

I was wondering where can I get it lowered? I'm a high school student by the way haha, I dont have a six figure job yet. =P

[Kiwi_Fozze]

hahaha im an apprentice sparky, did the lowering myself. granted it was a bit easier as i did a direct strut swap. u'll need a decent spanner / ratchet set, a breaker bar, a set of spring compressors and a day if its your first time. diy, ftw. its not actually that hard, if you are somewhat mechanically minded and patient

Stay with stock rims... Looks better and cleaner... Maybe paint them black? But like everyone else has said.. lower it first! not too much...

[Lampard]

Oh okay! I will give Mag Warehouse a ring haha. Mag n Turbo said it costs $600 for it lowered. I saw some where it was around $400 for it lowered.
