New '12 wrx hatch owner from suffolk, long island

[11blackwrx]

Yeah that's ideally what I would want to do. Maybe try and scoop up a used set of stock wheels and put some winter tires on.

Either this or steel rims are cheap to get

[nyrangerfan222]

yep, damned if you do and damned if you dont..... that's why i didnt do any bolt-ons until 30k. i was planning on waiting til the warranty was up, but i coudln't hold out anymore, lol

Checked out your profile, sweet build you got going on there. How long/how many miles have you had those mods for? Maybe meet up in person one day to check it out.

Yeah that is definitely a way to go. Cheap and I don't think they look bad, rocking steelies on the truck. Which brand/where do people get steelies for the wrx at?

I ordered them through tirerack the 16" will fit fine. Though if you plan to upgrade the calipers you may need 17" for clearance

Yeah I stopped in and spoke with them in there (PAS) cool guys. No issues within those 30k while being stage 1?

Cool deal thanks for the heads up. Looks like the steelies are back order till September which seems like perfect time to start looking for winter set up.

I ended up ordering my set before i got my car Late Feb I was worried we would get a snowstorm but never did. Was about 600-700 but I know its something Ill need so not a big deal. Since you already have mudflaps all you need now is a roof rack and a bunch of stickers on the wind deflector.

Thanks guys. Goin to do red vinyl overlays next on the tails

Nice hatch! I love mine too. Get the tails done looks much better. I had mine done professionally by tint shop with red vinyl they cut with razor blades for $120. Tint guy told me that's the best thing to do so it fits perfectly. You need to get an Acessport $400-$600 and stage 1 e-tune from torqued performance($85) You won't regret it, trust me. I have no idea why I waited until 6k to mod mine it's so much faster now

Yeah the place i got tints done also does vinyls. I would have gotten them done same day but it was raining and he said not to get the tails done in the rain due to possibility of them peeling off. All this talk has me wanting to go stage 1 so bad
