my 02 wrx budget build. how cheap and low can a subie go?

[JPE16]

Well right when I asked the guy what his paypal was, he went MIA for a week....soooo I rethought my wheel options, and decided that this wasn't going to be the first car I'd rock fake wheels on. so I picked up a set of 17x10 OZ futura's off vortex. They're +50 and 5x120, but I have a local guy making me adapters, just figuring out offsets now. I'm SO happy things worked out this way. these wheels will be amazing.

black chrome for sure.

[JPE16]

those are them. I was thinking polished, but i'll defnitely mount them and see how i like them when they arrive.

[JasperThomas]

I'd say mount them and see how the white looks, and if you don't dig it powdercoat them gold/bronze.

[JPE16]

and having said that, i bought torques yesterday. 18x9.5+35. I may run a 7mm spacer, we'll see how they fit first.
They're currently white, but I'm open to colour suggestions. I own a powdercoating gun and oven so the possibilities are limitless.

^^ i didnt really want to go down the typical rota grid/torque route. No matter what i do it'll have been done, but the grids and torques have been done TO PEICES. There's a gb on my local forum, and I'm trying to get a price on 18x10 svn's in flat black, but apparently that's a hard size to come by.

what does PSM stand for?
no, no others. I just ran out quickly and snapped those pics. I MIGHT have one on my phone. lol

[northmiler89]

any more pics of the car? it looks like dirty PSM in the picture, not the 06 color..

finding 5x100 aggressive fitment wheels is super easy.. call up subydude and order some... or if you want "real" wheels, order some...


crank em down!

lolz at teh canister

the exhaust sitting beside my snowboard?
lol i dunno what was up with that. it was in the trunk of the car when i bought it. so it's sitting in my room now. might be interesting to hit an intruder with or something.

[coolgraymemo]

nice deal...

[HouseOf1817]

lolz at teh canister

[dare23]

sounds like a good deal! nice. lots of ideas from that official fitted thread!

[JPE16]

I ran outside and quickly snapped a couple photos.
Forgot I had my iso ramped up from a shoot i did the other week. sorry about the graininess









and the coilovers:



Also, my second love (besides the gf...but she is sitting beside me...)

[JPE16]

I like the miro's alot but a local guy has them on his rwd subie, and I'd never hear the end of it. I agree they look good. but not good enough to deal with shitty people. Don't want to give him an excuse to talk to or about me. lol

[hinrichs]

those wheels would look good, I think the miro stp1 would be nice as well and have alot of lip being a 10" wide wheel

cant wait to see some pics of this

[JPE16]

thanks for the kind words man! and that thread is so good. I had a look through the church on nasioc to get an idea on fitment.
anyway summer plans for the car:
Wheels
blacked out headlights
remove slats from bumper
JNA lip
STI limited interior
Install my focal speakers
and if I can find a deal on the stuff a VF3X setup.
