A_Tang Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thoughts on these? 2005 Legacy GT, Obsidian Black Pearl I considered those double five-spokes ones before...but they are a bit busy. There's something I don't like about six spoke wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon427 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 They look like Sears wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteOwl561 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well unfortunately, I'm not in the market for a set of Rays, Volks, Advan, Works, etc.... I have to go with what the old budget can afford. They look nice on the digital image of what I am looking at and I don't want to look like all the other wheels out there. One thing I have learned in all of my years is that when it comes to wheels, everyone has an opinion, but the only one that really matters is the drivers. I'll keep looking until I find that wheel that speaks to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteOwl561 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) What abot these? Found them local for $400, seems like a good deal. They have some light scuffs on the lip and a few small scratches. No bends or cracks. I will upload a photo later. Edited May 11, 2013 by NiteOwl561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted May 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2013 $400 for Superleggeras in good condition is a great deal. Snatch 'em up! "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteOwl561 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I may not be buying the Superleggeras after all. One wheel looks to be badly curbed. Doesn't appear to be any bends, but about 1/9th of the outer lip is shaved down a bit. Not sure the wheels are even worth $400. Am I correct that the main advantage of the OZ Racing wheels is the weight advantage? Since I am not overly concerned about weight, I feel it's better to get a wheel that is not damaged over getting the OZ Wheels.

NiteOwl561 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Would this be considered an 18x8 or an 18x9 wheel? Edited May 11, 2013 by NiteOwl561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Width Is bead to bead. The width should be stamped on the inside of the spoke design somewhere too. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesurfin Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Here's another wrx wheel fitment off of a 2012 wrx. The tires are 245/40/17 Falken Azenis FK-453. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssTeeAai Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 ^^^ nice! I love the OEM look. I'm curious how the offset of those wheels looks on our cars. Do they sit deep inside the fenders? Or do they sit more or less flush? Can you please post pics from the front or rear of the car so the rims are visible. It's hard to see the offset from side profile shots.

The rear sits in a little deeper. The 245/40/17s make them look a whole lot better than the 235/45/17s they came with. I do plan on some spacers for the rear a bit later.
