It will probably be out on the showfloor in a few days, I don't think its sold yet..hint,hint. The wheels are completely bad ass. I wasn't sure about the look of these from all the pictures online either, but then I saw it in person(and drove it around a bit), and it solidified my opinion well in to the like range.
Not sure I would post "drove it around bit" on a forum full of OCD "Don't let anyone take my STi for a test drive!" folks.
The car doesn't grow on people, people just get numb to their ugliness. All Subaru Imprezas are ugly, always have been, always will. The best looking one was the GC8, specifically the 22B. Everything else is just ****. Doesn't matter what they look like, it matters how they drive.
Idk, I've always been a fan of the GD body no matter what the front clip looked like. Blistered fenders, a fat hood scoop, and a reason for people to stare at a stock car was what got me into them.
