RyanPDX Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Blizzaks and stock wheels were put on about a week ago for the winter! Cant wait to test out stage 2 in the snow. The stock wheels turned out much better with a powder coat than I thought, they should offer them like this from the factory for the XTs. I almost like the look of my stock wheels in black better than my summer black OZ wheels. The last pic is of my summer set up. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climbingj Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I agree on that the factory should have offered the wheels darker! Great looking ride. In a world of silver wheels it is nice to be different. Won't be too long and they will be popping up around town:D The Blizzaks sure do ride smooooth and quiet for a great snow tire. They have been a great tire for me, really took the car to the next level in the winter conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanPDX Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think the reason the OZs dont look as good as the could is because I havent upgraded my brakes yet. The tiny stock rotors and calipers just look even smaller with the more open spokes of the OZs. The stock wheels cover up the brakes better. Upgrading my brakes is my next mode this spring. The feel really underpowered with my current modes. Any recommendations on a good brake kit to look for. Brembos??? Used brembos from an STI, will those fit??

I had a bike rack on a previous (non-Subaru) car. Got a ton of whisting and vibration. Got the front plastic front fairing and it made a huge difference.
