I love the rim width, hate the stretched tyre. Did you select the tyre or did someone suggest it? black and white combo is full of win

I'm pretty sure I see this on the way to work every morning driving down Alexander Drive all the way down to the end.

I like it!

Totally agree, if it was mine it would be staying OG or atleast put another set of rare Genuine STi rims on as spares and a differ look.

Looks good, although I think you should have gone the slightly wider tyre as it does look very stretched!
I'm all for a stretched tyre to squeeze a low offset/wide wheel under the guards, but by the looks of your setup, a bit of negative camber and you would be able to run a much less stretched tyre.
