225s on the front, 275's on the rear, the wheels came off my friends FD, he said he wanted to see them on my FC so he made me a deal i couldnt refuse, hell i dunno if they will fit in the rear, but when i get off work, im gonna go find out.. offset is a +35 i think.. i will find a way, just making it look good at the same time is the tricky part

They look like a knock-off of the BRS Poisons...

Thank you all for your compliments, i love the look of these wheels
i wont be getting rid of these at all, if anything, just a refinish, polished up, and on the car in the summer, probably buy some cheap wheels for the winter, or just garage it.. cuz i really only drive the WRX in the cold, i have a 280zx im selling i havent driven since october

Thoes are going to look 110% perfect refinnished. Pollish the lip out, and leave the centers matt. Good looking car.

no, they came off my friends FD, they had been sitting in storage for awhile because he bought a set of work emotions, when i bought the car, he sold them to me for practically nothing, with the tires.. yeah i know its a lot of tire, but since i paid less for all four wheels plus tires than i paid for the car, and i only paid 500 for the car..
