Looks good. Suspension will make it look even better.

Are those just as strong as my stock 97 rims? And if they are I wonder how they would look powder coated black.

They're just as strong. I've taken mine off road a few times, hauling butt on logging roads at 100+ mph (don't yell, I don't do that shit anymore).

Actually, I believe that the 16" wheels are stronger than the 15" wheels the OB came with, since there's less rubber between the wheel and the ground.

They look damn sharp, even rattle-can spraypainted black.

And we should all slap each other on the ass and say good job because another sheep is following the pack.

Damn I'm a sheep now. Yeah I know everyone has em, but was getting sick of mine and these will do for now and make great winter rims later. They look a lot nicer in person I think.

I bet they do look better in person. What matters is you like them, I just voiced an opinion.

Yeah, personally I dont think they look great, especially on the WRX's. I think these look a lot better than my stockers though, plus a lot cleaner so that could just be the major improvement. Oh and i was joking with you anyway :smile: Never been called a sheep before so its ok.

If I bought a set and had them powder coated I would use them with either a set of light truck street tires or if I can find a set of boggers in that right size I would put them on there. I think they would look good with what I plan to do.

I can't stand those wheels in silver. I like my Bronze painted ones, and the only car I've ever seen that they looked REALLY good on is my friends 80's Loyale Wagon

Well I needed new tires and for $300 for pretty much new tires and rims I think I went the right rout. Plus im saving for WRX swap and trans so im not trying to spend money on rims nor tires right now.
