    Just want to say that you'll have to be careful when finding 16" wheels that will fit over the 2006 WRX 4-pot brake calipers.

    Helpfull member is helpfull!

    Kodos to you turtle.... very importent thing to keep in mind since these rims are on an 06 wrx.

    Any reason you want to ditch the 17" wheels? you could just get some snow tires for them?

    I am almost positive that the RS 6 spoke 16x7 rims are the only ones that will fit over your 4/2 pots. Interested in selling your 06 rims outright? If so, PM me
