dwolson2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Japan... they start with a "V" I went outside and check just for you....lol they are VESTA I traded them for a set of 17" enkie's he wanted more sidewall, since he was running coilovers, and since i had 17's from the factory, I wanted something bigger. This was while I was in Japan. He had a 96 LGT twin turbo 2.0. I just got back about 2 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryq89 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 got any direct side shots of the car? i like em looks like the 08 TL type S rims a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I do, I don't like the coloring though. %^* shadows, Its hard to get a good color of what they look like, and the shadows make it worse. Probably the best picture for color is the one with the plate scribbled out^ otherwise its hard to capture the right color, at least until the wife comes with the good camera. http://i41.tinypic.com/25te00k.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 The coloring is very close, totally different rim design, but its hard to tell from the angle. http://i40.tinypic.com/mmfqeh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwolson2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hey what do you think about pulling my calipers and painting them to match the rims? Would that be rice or look nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 not ricey when done tastefully...stick to black or a fresh coat of silver...you can finish them off with a nice subaru sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 not ricey when done tastefully...stick to black or a fresh coat of silver...you can finish them off with a nice subaru sticker no subie sticker for me, I am thinking of the same dark metallic grey that I used for the rims, just something to cover up the ugly not rusted but looks pitted or whatever you want to call it factory calipers....:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally painted mine black with the duplicor balck caliper paint( brush on kit) I wish I would of taken them off and done them how he did. -Josh Herrera -2007 DGM OBXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 good to know, I will definitely do that. Some one posted this pic on another forum, my rims reminded him of these. http://automobilesdeluxe.tv/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-automobiles-de-luxe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolson2 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 here is a side shot as requested, the lighting is better, so much better that there are what appear to be white spots on the rims, but its actually just glare. http://i44.tinypic.com/2zq7ts9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwolson2 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 if anyone is curious, I finally took care of that wheel gap. 2 years later, and the only problem I have with chippage is where the wife...or I curb checked them. Even then there is almost none.: http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m589/dwolson2/2011-06-24174822.jpg Here is a side by side of some rotas that I picked up. Still debating which ones I am going to use when I replace my tires: http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m589/dwolson2/2011-06-29160348.jpg Also, I learned that these wheels were made by Rays(think volk racing) Apparently they have different rims for different overall style racing/euro etc.(volk, gram lights, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
