I notice you have one photo with the 94 livery that is more politically correct.

This 76cm x 97cm board mounted beauty lives on the wall in my garage, let me know if you want 4.4M res photo.

The Speedlines pictured on those Prodrive cars were designed for a group A alloy hub and bearing assembly. If used on a normal hub the rim will stick way outside the arches due to the offset used. All the ones you see around are the road car replicas that have +35 offset, nowhere near as deep where the nuts are. The closest you will get will be group N spec rims if you intend on using Subaru iron hubs.

Pictures of the old rally cars bring back memories, would be pretty cool to see a detailed replica of it in Perth.

Correct Dougie....and note the different rims in the 2 pics.
I remember many years ago that Hanson Yeoh had a set of the 6 spoke Speedlines on his MY95 (I think) WRX...and yes the offset was such that they stuck out a fair bit...looked OK but I imagine that the handling wasn't the best.
