Well i have those sumitomo's but they're stictly street, you wouldn't be able to rally in 'em. Plus you'd have to buy 2 more, $154.91 shipped from tirerack (for us). they're HTR ZII 205/50-16. $58 for balancing and stem at town fair tire, free mounting.

The tires are in pretty good shape to get you goin. They'll def hold for ya, from what i hear they're amazing and "sticky" in dry weather, awesome in the rain, but COMPLETELY useless in the snow.
sh**, for the price of the 2 new ones, maybe you should get all 4... but i'll def give you what i have if you want 'em.

I'll be going with bridgestone re750's when I get summer tires more likely than not. This decision is influenced by my bridgestone/firestone hookup though

The BBS 17's were an INCREDIBLY rare factory option on the WRX. In the overpopulation of WRX's here on the east coast, I've only seen one with the rims, and he bought them from Subaru Parts, not when he got the car.
They were something like a $2000 option or so. I am not sure if they clear the brembos or not though. VERY hot wheels, and used in almost all of the Subaru commercials.
