I don't mind gun-metal, but I still find myself going back to the gold...

These will poo over anything from rota, legit lightweight wheels that will fill the guards nicely.

Yeh I saw those earlier but not a fan of 5 spoke rims. The large open spaces make the Betty brakes looks tiny and enhances the embarrassment of shit looking calipers

Not worried about weight as it will only ever be an A-to-B cruiser and not tracked. Alternatively I could be smarter and just forget the idea of rims and drop the coin on some whiteline gear instead. Fuck that body roll off.

waste of money doing that if you don't track the car!

For the love of God, please don't.
But, if you have to, you want 5x100 stud pattern, with an offset around +45 to +55 ish* (<+45 can also be made to fit).

*For a 7.5inch wide rim.

This is a representation of what you are doing to your car.

Guessing you don't like the look of them...? :-) I don't even know what I like! Trying to figure out what I can and can't put on to help narrow it down! Thanks for your help :-)

A classic spokey japanese wheel tends to suit the Subaru better than chinese boat anchors, leave those to commodores.

But at the end of the day its your car and we can't stop you if you have horrible taste

haha fair

i have my heart set on gold rims for the car, but i didnt find any that jumped out! so i thought i'd follow my afl heart and get a richmond coloured rim (the ones i put up also come with gold inserts).

Y'all helped make up my mind... hang out a bit, pay a bit more to get a nice set of gold 'uns
