    They aren’t anything fancy, just some Rotas but they looked good on the car. I have a few more photos in various stages of mods

    Those wheels are an absolutely perfect fit for the car! Amazing.

    There's nothing wrong with Rotas. Not everyone can afford or wants to spend several grand on just a set of wheels.

    Rotas on the JCW MINI I used to own. Had suspension mods such as different springs, adjust rear roll bar etc. Not the fastest car in a straight line, but would handle like a go kart. Would top out around 147mph. Probably the most fun car to drive I've ever had.

    Looks great, Drew! Much better than stock. I’ve never been impressed by the dark/black custom rims. To me, from a distance, they always look like their hub caps fell off at the last major pothole and the car is on plain, black, often-rusty, old steel rims. Much better now!

    What’s the story behind the personalized license plate? 🤔

    Beautiful wheels

    And love the stance of the car. John probably has a stock Town and Country so don’t listen to him.

    That shot from the tailights angle is killer. The car sits beautifully. My Pop used to have the WRX back in 2007 and that was so fun to drive.

    Congrats.

    I have a Jaguar XJ, and a Mercedes GLC300... 2021 C8 Corvette on order. :p

    I like the wheels too, and love Subaru. I was just doing some late-nite chop-busting. :pB)

    Slow down John. You don’t have to prove anything here man. We know you have everything.

    Lets see a picture of that 2021 vet....brother in law got his weeks ago and lives in the Hills........or did the vette go the way of your so called Demon

    Never had a Maserati ever on my radar, except as a passing thought.

    Wonder how he got a 2021 "weeks ago" when production began for 2021on December 9th and the production hold was lifted last Tuesday.

    As far as the Demon goes, here is the window sticker with my name on it.

    Now kindly shut your Goddamned pie hole. I am sick of your continued **** about that $&#@*#$ car. Get a life!
