If money isn't a problem, get the Billet Specialties hands down! They are a little lighter and have a more modern look. I like all of Welds drag style wheels, but they do have an older style look to them.

Def want the skinny look in the front would it be better achieved with a 15inch wheel and a spacer to clear the cobra brakes or with 17s?

I think the 325/50/15 is what I am gonna go with instead of the 295/65/15, the 50 sidewall height will be a little better with the 4.30 gear ratio i think, besides rolling the fender will I have any fitment issues? Also what would skinnies on the 17s look like with a 15 inch wheel outback will it look dumb?

Now that I think about it...run 15's up front. Bogarts make the center section of their wheels the same 15" but then they add an inch of flat metal on each side of the radius to make it a 17" wheel.
