JoeFromPA Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi all, Was searching edgeracing to see what they offer for the Legacy GT. I had to enter in a 2005 LGT to find appropriate wheels, but whatever. Anyway, they offer the 17x8 5zigen F10RN-C (or whatever it is) for $150 a piece, with bundled tires starting around $800. Even with decent tires the pricing is good. It's a pretty simple wheel design, which I personally like, but it's a 17x8 that's relatively strong and good for everyday use by weighs only 17 pounds. Just figured I'd share this, as I'm a big fan of the 17x8 sizing and losing a few pounds over stock. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ed Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 check ebay user discounttiredirect first... same wheels and tires cost me about 300 less than that, but they don't always have them. other than that edge has always had the best price.....

enthusiast Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 So when I go and look and select by using my car I only get the 17x7 max wheels. Did you use the other method to find those 17x8's? My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I usually just search for rims that fit a 2004 STi, and then I have to watch to make sure offsets aren't too low... A lot of sites don't let you run wider than OEM, which is 7" Here are my 5zigen's before some of my current mods meant I couldn't run them. I sometimes miss the bronze rims http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/praedet/5zigens/Picture%20Day%201/DSC00310.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/praedet/Suspension/Comparison/AfterHigh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praedet Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 First pic no, 2nd yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianspi Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yes, if you search for 2004 STI you will get a lot of wide wheel selections. If you search for 2001 Impreza RS you will find a lot of 17s. enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/praedet/Suspension/Comparison/AfterHigh.jpg Those look awesome on the wagon. The 5 spokes look real clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcvictim Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I used to run them on my WRX back when I had it, the wheels were good quality and I ran them year round. After a year paint started chipping on the "lip" , I am not sure whether I used the wrong cleaner or just the paint quality. Using some paint remover from home depot I had some custom wheels. Overall I would buy again. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/Calcvictim/03-07-05_1758.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
