Im dying to see these on, I personally think they will suit the car perfectly!

Me too just waiting for the last salt ... I think the matte bronze color would go better with her black car though... for example:

The Kizashi's have a lot of chrome highlights on them though, unlike the above WRX. But if you changed the chrome bits to match the wheels it would be good.

Hers doenst have any side moldings so all there really is is the turn signal below the mirror and the exhaust.. shouldnt cause any issue

A little bit more on the offset. The factory offset for 18" wheels is +50mm, not +42mm. I have 18" matte black Enkei Raijin on my car. The offset on this wheel is +40mm.

This wheel comes in silver as well. For Kizashi, the offset for the wheel can go as low as +35mm. The lower the number, the better the look of the car since it will have a wider stance.

Another tip is try to stay with more well known brands such as Enkei, O.Z., BBS, because the quality is better. Also, remember to check the weight of each wheel. You want to go with lighter weight not heavier than factory wheels.

XXR 518 looks pretty nice too. The offset on this is +35mm

northernstar, I love the last wheel you posted I think that would fit my car well. how much do they usually run for? and thats not too bright of a silver, I was trying to aim for more of a grey, gunmedal. So the wheel in that photo looks good!

I am not sure how much it costs down in the states. I checked last summer and it was around 900 bucks including shipping for north of the border. But I am 100% sure it will be a lot cheaper for you. Everything south of border is cheaper, sucks to be Canadians in this aspect lol.

I suggest buying a wheel by its weight, since weight affects the dynamics of the vehicle (unlike 'looks', which only affects certain viewers).

However, it ain't my car.......
