    Default rims or ground effects?

    soo you guys think stock rims (16" with fattie tires) would look any good with ground effects? or you think i should get rims before i do any body work?
    the ground effects i am lookin at are: kaminari (like the ones on this months import tuner)<<--*i highly doubt i'll be gettin those becuase they are really expensive but there's still a slight chance* or Wings West.
    The rims im lookin at are the OZ Supperleggras(17" 15.1lbs)

    i would like your input +/- thanx

    "fattie tires" haha, are not very attractive. I would buy the rims first before any bodywork, not to mention suspension upgrades...

    I'd get the rims and then play around with the turbo a little

    hmm...playin with the turbo such as getting a boost controller, will involve changin lots of the internals, that iz just wut i read on subaru sites, i was thinking of upping my psi, i did some reasearch on the internet and found that alotta ppl wrecked their engines by upping the psi and not fixin the internals, soo that aint quite a good idea ahaha

    2.2vtec:
    i guess you're right, but it could always look better rite? buuut i guess slappin some rims on there would be nice, and the ground effects cooould wait i guess...

    thanx for your guys input

    man, I would go for the rims. don't touch the suspension on the wrx yet untill you want better handling. well the wrx is beuitiful stock so maybe you should look into the motor

    wrx internals are fine. You can do fuel mods and up the boost and be just as safe as stock
