I wanted to post a pic of my new wheels on a clean car.
 

 

 
Not the greatest pics but at least there's proof the car is clean!

Looks good Tom. Are those the optional BBS STI wheels?

Thanks Bob
 
No, they're OZ Ultraleggera's, 18x9. It fills out the wheelwells a little better than the stock 18x8.5 and allows me more options to go a little bigger with the tires. I replaced the stock Dunlops with Bridgestones which are a little wider as well (even though they are the 'same' size. People have stuffed 285s on these cars with just rolling the fenders and changing to coilovers!
 
Mileage isn't the greatest- averaging about 18-19mpg, but typically my commute is up and down hills and mileage isn't great anyway. Also the engine isn't really broken in yet- just had my 4000mile oil change a few weeks ago.
 
Even with summer tires and the car rack, the car is great! I can pack stuff in the back and drive the thing every days without needing a massage every evening, and while it's not a lexus it's reasonably quiet, almost too quiet. I do wish we had the Recaro seats though- I'd like to be a bit more snug in them.

What did you do with the stock rims? Save 'em for snow tires?

Yes, I put all seasons on the stockers and use them as my 'winter' tires for when it gets cold here.
 
The stockers weigh a ton though! I think I saved 40 lbs with the new wheels!
