    I picked up a set of 04 WRX wheels to use as my winters. The guy I bought them from wanted to paint them gold so he went nuts on sanding and then quit after 2 wheels. Then he was nice enough to leave them bare metal and let them corrode. Nothing a little more sanding couldnt take care of though. Anyways I just got the tires yesterday for them So they should be on the car soon.

    Looks great! I have those tires and they were great in the snow. a bit squishy when conditions are dry but I expected that. After getting used to the winter tires switching back to "real" tire in the spring made it feel like driving a totally different car.
