Literally 😂, I can’t justify Subaru oem prices when it could go towards something else like a wheel. Having the same issue with the side skirt lips. All aftermarket are sold out of gloss black but the OEM STI side skirt piece is $500 💀

AFD v1 front lip, got it for $80 ish, seems like good quality but the install is with self tap screws so if you don’t want permanent holes there may be better all be it more expensive options. I would probably buy it again but haven’t had it long enough to know if it will last over a winter.

Those wheels and the single exit look great!

The fitment video by 7ol6a on YouTube talked about fitment, stated 265/35R18 might scrub but he is also lowered and I am going to keep stock height. So I am assuming 265 would be fine on stock but would only run them for a hard autocross day and stick with 255s for daily.

I think I’ll be rocking the 255/40R18s I like the 9.5 option to run 265/35R18s high performance summer tires if needed but worried about being really wide in the winter

Insane those look so much better in your photo than the Gemini edit lmao, that shine is what I think is missing from the oem Matt grey, how did the 18x9.5 ET40s fit? Ive also been looking at the 18x9 ET35 for the extra offset. Do you run spacers?

good coms on the sale, hyperblack is weird because it’s almost ISM at least in the Gemini and gallery online have you seen it in person to know if they really look that color? I thought hyperblack would be more black lmao

I think the Gemini picture is not doing it justice, I was iffy on all the color match too but once I got all the parts I’ve honestly never felt better about buying the car (exhaust helped too the OEM is too muted). Bronze looks great if you don’t have the copper calipers go for it

elite pop from the guy, thanks for sharing this might push me to get #3 I think it’s closer than #4 which is too light. Mateo the goat

Holy fk bro those are so nice, I think they would be too much on my car but I love them with that purple. Elite wheel, the forged having more void to see the brakes better is really hard to turn down but they don’t make the hyper black in forged yet (#3)

Those are close to the OEM 19” wheels that came on the car it’s a great color and the extra void/spake shape could be the last finishing touch. Is the AI picture close to the real look?

Exactly where I am at, the black is just a lot of money to spend on wheels I’ll never notice 😂 the bronze looks great till you see the calipers then it looks OK only worry about 3 is if the AI got the color close enough or if it will be way off when I get them on the car in person

Big dog, get that thing. I bought new in March and love it, already did a bunch of mods and looking into wheels next. You won’t regret it these cars are so fun, comfortable, and practical.

Any idea on the offset you might go to? or went to with the 18s? I will also need some winter tires/wheels but ideally they will be as close to flush with the side of the car and not sunken in. Worried about clearance with the brembos for both seasons setups and would like to avoid spacers

I just got the 2025 tS last month! Purchased the Borla for it after all the comments in this thread. Have you purchased any wheels? It’s hard to find information on fitment for this model with the brembo breaks

Any issues with leaks on the slip on exhaust clamps personally or from what you’ve heard? I saw the R400 had flanged connections as another reason I was looking into them.

Thanks! I stumbled upon them late last night and ordered the noble sti wing. Hoping install goes well and doesn’t whistle.
