I would say the stock ones look way better. Those look pretty ghetto.

Agree with the other posters, it would make the car look too much like a ricer. Go for something a bit more classy.

OEM subaru wheels have a hub bore of 56.1mm.

the 2is has a hub bore of 60.1mm.

so unless you plan to machine the hub bore to 60.1mm on those OEM subaru wheels, they won't fit.

also, without specifying tire size, it's safe to say that whatever tires are on those subaru wheels are not the correct size for the 2is.

if you're looking to replace your current wheels with other stylish OEM wheels, try the track package 19's off the hyundai genesis coupe or the sport package 19's off the G35 coupes. plenty of those floating around online classifieds (i.e. craigslist).

of course, you'll have to get the right tire size(s) to maintain the OEM rolling diameter (read: not throw off the speedo and odo).
