Default What rims should I buy for my Wagon?!!!

Hi Guys

Well I've moved to Singapore and just bought an MY06 Impreza TS Wagon in Crystal Grey which gets delivered in May - it looks exactly like the one below. Its a huge step down in power from the old WRX i'm used to, but budget prevails...$61K for a 1.6 Litre automatic AWD wagon...crazy but at least its a Subie. My other options were a crappy Lancer for $55K or Civic for $74K!

Too give you guys some idea of the ridiculous cost of cars here, the new WRX will set you back $86k and an STI $110K. It's no wonder why dudes from this country that come to Australia buy such nice cars...

Anyway it comes with those crappy 15" TS rims - not the rims in the picture. I'd love some advice on what 17" rims people think I should buy!

Gimme some suggestions on rims/colour of rims etc... was thinking of going for the "VIP" cruiser look...thoughts?!!!

Cheers
Jon

Hey Jon, congrats on the new venture, I didn't realise you were moving.
Will you be back to live or is this a permanent thing, what happened to Sir?

Rims.. VIP sounds good, can they clear some deep stuff at the back.

For VIP style
Work Euroline DH's (these are the MOST VIP rims u will ever find) - work.co.jp
Weds Bazreia's - weds.co.jp
Anything by FABULOUS - fabulous.co.jp
Work Seeker LX

For others
HRE's (they would look sick if u can find them)
Lowenhart LD1's - http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/download/download.htm
Konig Unknown's

, put them into google images

Hope i have helped a bit

STI Tuned - its a temporary permanent move, if that makes sense...all depends on the work!

WRP10 - fantastic recommendations! WorkEuroline DH are great, but a little too common. Weds Bareria's are HOT! Lowenhart LD1's are also hot, but too common these days.

Balistic - Yes, VS-XX rims are nice, but not really my style. The pattern is a little too complex - just a little too much happening on the rim...

Jamie - thanks...Asanti definitely offer a lot of bling...but the rims are a little too big for the Subie

Opinions on the Weds Bellona?


Or how about the 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR?


Or maybe even Work Viale Dish?


Other ideas? Keep them rolling!

The Weds Bellona Look tight... there is a white 03 wagon(WRECKS) over here with a similar style rim and it looks really good..
