Hey guys i just did a rough job on this cause i was told that 2002 sti rims would look good on my car. I chopped them onto my car with a before and after image. I would appreciate feedback on what you think, personally i think they look great on there even with a rough cut.

Those STI rims look sweet on a Gen3 mate; esp if the car is lowered.

hmmmm so do i ill try find some nice ones and chop them on for your opinion

Be careful with Gen4 rims on a Gen3! They can sometimes look really out of place!

Personally, I think that Gen4 wheels should be reserved for Gen4 and Gen2 only!

Gen3 look great with WRX rims, B4 5 spoke and B4 BBS Mesh.

Go with powdercoated black. White on black is the best option by far.

Just put your stock wheels in the microwave and they will end up looking something like this:

Bilstein's and Kings don't necessarily work that well together. Kings have a tendancy to make the car sit up higher due to the increased length of the Billie strut. So I would avoid Kings if you're going for the Billies.

If you're lucky, you can find a set of Billies with springs already attached at Import Monster. Last night I saw a set with STi pinks in the front and Teins on the back for cheap!

You're right, those wheel do look OK on your car. I think we've discussed this somewhere along the line before and it was decided that it was because your car is Blue!

I reckon those wheels would look a bit pox on a white gen3.

While we are on the topic, are BE (sedan) and BH (wagon) springs and struts exactly the same? or is this only the case for coilovers because there adjustable?
