well like title says what do you guys think looks better,
right now im running on 18x7.5 ET42 Arceo Eurostar with pretty decent 245/45/18 Alpines and recently i aquired a set of Momo Course Rev's in 17 ,
arceo look good but they are universla pattern and i need to get hub rings for them plus two of them are slightly bent thus io get a vibration in the steering nothing major but still annoying. Momo's are straight but i have no tires for them yet plus they would need to get painted and they are 17 not 18 and im not sure i didg them yet. so here are some pics

I honestly like the momo's but those tires look tiny with the outback's lift. What size tires are those 215/45's?

i think they are 215/50 they came with the wheels and are trash, i just put them on to see what wheels would look like i'd need to find a set of 225/55 or 245/50. i think im gonna sell them they way my work is going now i dont have time to sit on craiglist/ebay in search of good tire deals, the set of 18's i have including tires and mounting/balancing ran me under 400 i can do better with 17s but its time consuming. plus 18s already painted same color as i will paint the lower part of the car.

Sorry, but i don't think either of them look good at all. That's just me. But if I had to choose, I'd pick the second one.

and nice parking! :lol:

well im going to keep my 18s the momo's are 17x7.5 ET 35, so i guess they are more for a vw than a subaru nothing really wrong on using them but i dont want to go looking for tires plus mounting costs and the ordinary look of momo's aren't really cutting it for me, as far as my parking goes its not as bad as you think i was so far away from any other parked cars that i wanted as much room as possible this was a mall parking lot and closest store was like 1/4 mile away so tell me again why would i park directly in the spot so some douche would definately park next to me? lol
