Sometimes you just need to keep your OEM wheels.

Alternative solution: wheel cribs or drive your car year round (depending on your location) .

They would a great winter wheel and if you damage your aftermarket wheel. These oem wheels can get you out of a pinch while you wait for a replacement and that could take forever.

Very few cars come with good looking OEM wheels, the Type R OEM wheels actually look good and work well with the design for the car. Although not a huge fan of black wheels and wish they had done a different color I will say that with this car actually work pretty good. Wish they had been 18s and a little better fitment (and lighter, they heavy...) but still a great wheel, will definitely not sell em and put em on once in a while.

I just curbed mine this morning, 600 miles on the damn thing. I havent touched a curb in over a fucking decade, and here I sit just mad about my morning.

i know thats a rough one, when i had my daughter one day like still infant, i had to take her out before going into my garage.
I got her out, took her inside....then i just hopped back into the car and the garage wall closed my door for me that i left open after getting her out. So I know that feeling pretty well.

Sorry about your mirrror my guy, i dont even want to know the cost of a simple mirror it wiuld piss me off for you. lol

you know what man, its not that bad, and thats gonna work. It didnt even cross my mind! I am in baltimore, the dealer orders all of them with fucking summer tires, i was looking at something lighter weight when i switch the tires over to some continental dsw06s . amazing all season tire, i ran them on my '16 wrx. i got on it just a little the other evening, and it got scary quick those bitches just slide.

black marker it is, cause i dont have $3500 for some 20lb rims lol Thanks for the idea my guy. so simple and it never came into my thought process!

I am still paranoid about this everything I enter and exit my garage.

A black sharpie can work wonders on moderate/minor curb rash. Scraped mine 5 months ago, applied the black sharpie , and it still looks intouched (unless you are getting really close).
