Battle of the Grocery Getters

Submitted by Unscene on June 26, 2009 – 8:42 am25 Comments

This battle is for those who get the job done with some practicality. Both cars are rocking 18×10s, both wagons, both blue and both born in a Subaru factory. You be the judge:

    I like the newer STi

  • Andy says:

    im goin to have to give it to my boy Brandons 05 wagon. It took much more work to make those 18×10s fit on his than it did on the 08 wagon. I believe Brandon had to get front sedan fenders and custom rear fender pull along with a bunch of other alignment issues. Both are fresh though.

  • yosh says:

    gr takes the cake IMO

  • Section09 says:

    Are those Rotas? Is rocking knock off wheels all of a sudden ok because theyre hellaflush?

    I Vote for the GRB.

    • jhooks says:

      are you going to cry about it… show me the “real” version that can fit on his car? it doesn’t exist.

      • Section09 says:

        Not crying about anything, just asking a question, but I guess you answered it, Thanks.

  • Stanley says:

    Pretty sure that those are Rotas. The GRB looks dope.

  • Alex Roy says:

    GRB for sure…flushed advans look hot!!

    regardless, both look great!

  • Estin says:

    for stance I’d say the 05. But overall looks, gotta go with the newer STI.

  • jhooks says:

    my heart is with the old.

  • Freddy! says:

    Old is awesome minus the Rotas..but I think the GRB might actually win..even though the wagon has Voltex Aero….

  • xillentz says:

    that sti hands down.

    i dont even consider that thing a grocery getter pfftttt.

  • Steve says:

    No car with Rotas will ever get my vote.

  • TOYCOMA says:

    I voted old because of the wheels.

  • jc says:

    GRB

    no rotas please

  • Logan says:

    hey my car! haha i just won top scoob becuase all the hellaflush crew!

    thanks dudes, and my wheels are legit advans, 18×10 +30 woooooot :)

  • Shagon Wagon says:

    Brandon for the win ! 05 wagon love ! Please let me explain why the 05 is rocking Rotas. You find us 5×100 guys a Volk … or Advan rim in 18×10 with a low 30 offset and we would buy them…. NO WHEEL MANUFAC makes an aggressive 18×10″ or even 9.5″ in the 5×100 bolt pattern ! Gotta use what we can get our hands on ! Logans car is sick… but i love the old !

  • Dom J says:

    The old one look hotter!!! hands down….the new one is sick though

    All that crying about Rotas is pointless….as stated earlier all your “all bout down too” wheel companies don’t always look out for the “less popular” lug patterns when it comes to certain set-ups so why the hell would we go outta our way to buy their wheels!?

    The old one LOOKS BETTER overall, hands down!!

    I wont rock no bootleg J’s but I’ll rock the hell outta sum rota knock offs!!! lol

  • Eseer says:

    the old one FTW!

  • Brandon says:

    I just shed a tear looking at those pics. Although the wagon is long gone, I still miss the hell out of it. I’m just honored to have pics posted of my old ride and to be HellaFlush Approved! Props to the owner of the Blue Sti, I’m lovin’ your style. And much Mahalo’s to all the WFC for their support and help during the “wheel fitment” process.

  • Alex says:

    I second Section09’s comment.
    If they were real Volk sure….I’ll go with the GRB.

  • Reifer says:

    05 for sure but it needs to be SLAMMED
