[harrymaneuvers]

Well I found a set with tires for $450...

Whats everyones opinion?


Do they look hot?

[chuckthefuk]

painted graphite/gunmetal then yes

[Huffer]

They're better than the 16s... so yes.

[harrymaneuvers]

Ok... I am sold... I will be driving down on my lunch break to get them.

[httrdd]

Like chuck said paint them. I like the look.

[harrymaneuvers]

I dont get it... they are gunmetal from the factory...

[mycargoesvroom]

Meh.. I think the 06-07 wheels would look better.

[Huffer]

Meh.. I think the 06-07 wheels would look better.

But that's not what he's asking.

And Harry - typically when people say gunmetal they mean a graphite looking color. These are more of a dark silver. Either way they'll look great. I'd rock them stock for awhile.

[harrymaneuvers]

Sounds good to me!!!


Thanks for the info.


From the looks of the rims... they are a very dark silver... but that is kinda what I am looking for.

I will have pics up tonight assuming they are in the condition that the seller claims they are.

[harrymaneuvers]

Now if someone can help me see what my car would look like with my GF's wrx wheels on my BD... that would be WONDERFUL!!!

Also, what they would look like on my car if they were painted dark gold and black.


Not my car but a good side shot of another one:

Thanks in advance.


Im getting excited!!! WRX wheels means I can finally put WRX brakes on my car... which means brake upgrades on the WRX! A never ending cycle!

[Huffer]

Not exactly what you're looking for, but here's my old BD with stock WRX wheels:

And here's a photoshop slip did for me:

Actually you should check out slip's old member ride - his BD was the same color and yours and rocked.

[harrymaneuvers]

Slips BD:
Not exactly the same color but close. And your right... its real nice! If nothing else, it gives me an idea of what mine would look like lowered.

Whats everyones opinion?

But that's not what he's asking

Actually he did ask, and I gave my opinion. Why you gotta hate?

[harrymaneuvers]

Nobody is hating... but I wasnt asking for other suggestions... just whether or not people liked the 2010 WRX rims...

I mean shit... there are TONS of wheels out there that will look better... but I dont have access to any of them for $450 tires and wheels.


Thank you for your input.

[mycargoesvroom]

My appologies, I misunderstood what you were asking.

[harrymaneuvers]

AAHHHHHHH GEA!!!


Tires and wheels have less than 6k miles on them and are flawless!!!!


$550 delivered!!!


I am so excited I thought I would share. They are going on the ladies wagon... and I am getting the 16 inch stock wrx rims for my legacy.

[TGX4776]

i now hate you. I have wanted those for a long time.

[harrymaneuvers]

I sniped them... It is weird how some people was a shit ton of money for theirs and others just dont really care or know.

[TGX4776]

mount them on your bd for me and take a picture please!

[harrymaneuvers]

HAHAHAHA


Thats half the reason I am getting them. I might just rock them on my BD for a month or two until my lady proves to me that she wont so much as get closer than 3 inches to a curb.

I am thinking of some sort of test that I could put her through with her stock wrx rims on that would show she is worthy.

Keep in mind... she has only had the wrx wagon for 2.5 months and she was driving an aveo hatchback prior to this. I already noticed some rash on the oem wheels that wasnt there when we bought it :(

[harrymaneuvers]

Pics of both the wagon and the BD with the 2011 rims will be up this weekend... here is the only pic I have found of a 04 wrx wagon with them on... he even has the RA mudflaps and the Lamix tint on the fogs like our wagon has!!!

[csweston]

[Outbackid]

I want to see this.

[harrymaneuvers]

Well they didnt fit on the BD... they were too wide and rubbed the strut in the rear... but here is how they looked.

[Airgne]

[Outbackid]

Looks great. And yeah, spacers should fix that.
