New Wheel Teaser...

I picked up a set of 17x7.5" Rota Subzeros in Royal Silver from Deusexmachina this weekend.

Here's the teaser for them. I've gotta find time to get my tires mounted, and then they go on for real

They barely fit, but they fit enough to work. I think they are gonna look uber sweet

What do you guys think?

Sweer-tang.

Next thing you need is a "real" jack

Lol, that was a split second "hmmm, I've got the wheels in my car, lets toss them on"

I didn't feel like going to the garage and getting the floor jack.

I can't WAIT to get my tires mounted

. 225mm of goodness

Sweet!

225's will fit thos wheels perfectly. You should have absolutely no rubbing problems.

Well, if 225/45/17 Azenis don't rub, I should be fine.

I want to order a set of R-Compounds, but I don't have the money

. TireRack is having a bitchin sale.

Oh well, I think the spring holds some Toyo T1-S for me, and some studded snow tires for the stock rims. Maybe next year

.

Vikash's wheels inspired me to paint my stock WRX wheels this winter. Thinking about gloss black with a silver lip.

Sweet rims, I got the toyo T1-S tires on my 17's and they stick like glue on corners, its a huge change over the stock rims. When i drive in the canyon i can get about 90 on some of the 45 mph corners when there is no traffic, no peep from the tires.

You have 17's on the Turbo? What size, and what size T1-S?

How do you like them? How do they wear? Are they worth the 150+ price? Water traction? How are they in the Gravel? Durability (flat-proofness)? I wanna know EVERYTHING about them, if you can.

My buddy is sponsored by several tire places, and he's been pitching the Proxes 4's to me as an all-season, an Azenis for a good Summer ONLY tire (those over the Parada 2's). He thinks the Proxes would be pretty good in the gravel and dirt. I enjoy slippety sliding through the dirt and gravel on occasion.

I am almost considering the Proxes 4's, to keep myself out of trouble.

I have prodrive P7's 17x7.5. The T1-S has great water traction, it was raining today and i was trying them out. Don't know about gravel, Durability, they seem like pretty soft tires. I dont think the T1-S would handle well in the snow as the tread pattern wouldn't sheer as much snow as an all season. I'll look up the tire size when i go outside in the morning. They are the best handling tire I have ever owned in rain and dry weather at least, definately the most expensive too. They look sweet too

The tire size is 225/45/17 ZR

255s? Do they rub?

The lip on the inside of the fender was somehow bent down and was taking slices out of the tire when i hit big bumps at high speeds but a hammer fixed that. In normal everyday driving, like on the interstate or highway or in town, they dont rub. The only place i've noticed mine rub was my uncle's washed out dirt driveway in the mountains. Lost a tire from my other set of rims going up there the other day when a rock went through the sidewall:(

The P7's are +48mm right?

I doubt I'll have any rubbing issues at all. I'll just roll the fenders if I do.

According to Prodrive USA, the P7s have a 52mm offset.

I seriously doubt you'll have any rubbing issues, Phil.
