I actually put it because my friend gave it to me he had a lot left over since he was putting it on his R1 exhaust. So i said why not put it in my fujita intake. During the summer NY gets beyond hot so i did it so when the air travels it doesn't heat up anymore. Do i feel anything not at all. If i you i would just leave it like that.

They look beaten up and consequently contrast with the rest of your car. The wheel design itself looks good. I like to idea of gold center with white car (which is what I had on my previous Impreza) but their condition need to be improved. Sorry, if this is a new trend that I don't aware of or it is your style then I apologize.

Not at all honestly i wasn't going to take them off for the winter and only the front looks like that the rears are fresh. For the spring I am going to buy some vip modular wheels. I do like the sarcasm though at the end.
