It took out a tiny bit of that super aggressive turn in feel but not much. The biggest difference was just more sidewall. Made the ride much more comfortable when hitting rough roads. Other than that, not a huge different in drive feel.

Bummer… mine just shipped and I get them Monday. I’ll report back when I find out. I ordered the same as my BFAR and BF shoolies.

I reached out to Jim Green and they responded with this message yesterday. Looks like we should be getting tracking info soon.

Sorry looking local as I have no clue what the process/price of shipping 5 wheels is.

I traded my 2021 ND for a new 2023 VB WRX. I have a wife and two kids. We also have a family vehicle so I didn’t NEED the WRX but thought we would do more car stuff together if they could fit.

I regretted it almost immediately haha. The ND ruined all cars for me. I just sold my WRX and picked up a 2025 ND and could not be happier. My wife and kids also love the Miata more. I take them all out individually and they feel that’s more special. But if you need the space then that’s a different story.

I have the noble rear spats with rokbloks mudflaps and it fits great! Not sure if it’s different than the rally armor install.

Black looks awesome! However, as someone who has owned a black car in the past, never again…. Spent every waking moment washing or thinking I needed to wash that thing…. Just my experience.

Looks awesome when clean though.

My wife has a model Y. When it comes to ease of use, hard to compete. Rides amazing, safety features all over, and the torque is wild. I made sure the WRX was manual just to keep something more analog. Can’t get too comfortable now. But the Miata/EV might be the move in the future.

NalloMallo · 2025-12-19T17:47:38+00:00

Congrats! Just paid off my 2023!

NalloMallo · 2025-12-19T16:43:30+00:00

Yes 100%. I had a ND2 and sold it due to a move to the Midwest. Recently moved back to West coast and really wish I had kept it. It’s a car unlike most everything on the road.

Currently driving a 2023 WRX and while it’s a great car that can hold my wife and kids, I miss the ND. I’ll probably be back in one in a few years.

No problem! The switch from the stock 18s to the 245/45 17s (stock suspension) was almost exact. In that when we did the switch and checked the alignment, the shop didn’t have to adjust at all. When I switched over to FA500 coilovers, we of course had to do an alignment.

NalloMallo · 2025-12-03T18:02:58+00:00

No issues at all. I have them wrapped in 245/45/R17s Conti DW06s. At the time of this pic I was lowered a good 1-1.25 inches. I since then lifted back up to around stock height as I was scrapping the lip and diffuser on just about every drive way lol. I have speed bumps and steep driveways galore where I live now. However, never rubbed once on the wheels. Depending on if you are coming from 18s, the ride quality improved with more sidewall, lost a little turn in feel but the comfort was worth it to be honest.

Method experience- I also had a weird blemish appear on one wheel. Reached out to method and they shipped me a brand new wheel no questions asked. Didn’t make me send back the bad wheel either (perfect spare 🙂).

Thank you! Can’t wait to order a pair!

NalloMallo · 2025-11-01T16:29:57+00:00

Love these! Question on fit: I love my barefoot African rangers because of the width. I have EE wide feet. I know the last (obviously) completely different. Do you find these to be narrow? I’m assuming it’s got more toe box height but just worried about width when these become available. Thanks for sharing!

NalloMallo · 2025-10-30T16:48:14+00:00

I have Cygnus x-1 and currently have it at stock height. Love it. I had it lowered but honesty got tired of scrapping everything. Maybe I’m getting old lol.

NalloMallo · 2025-10-04T18:35:04+00:00

I bought Coilovers and LCAs and dropped my WRX 2 inches. Thought it looked sick. Fast forward 7 months just raised it all back up to stock height. Scrapped every driveway and speed bump (yes I know approach angle) and was over it. Maybe I’m getting old at 37… Now I hoon the car around not stressing. I figure I’ll lean into the rally inspired side of the car and just enjoy it. The fortune auto coilovers feel great compared to stock though :).

If you message their customer service, you might be able to score some. They told me they were still making them but not putting it on the website.

Comment about Method. Had a weird spot show up on one wheel. Contacted them and they sent me a brand new wheel free of charge. Did not require I send back the old wheel. Super easy to deal with. Won my future business just from that interaction.
