They will fit with the offset and bolt pattern, but I am not hip on cast metal from China.

If you want 16x7's why don't you just find a set ofWRX wheels.

Cheaper and easier to replace if you mess one up.

Nice wheels tho.

ive never seen an RS in person, and i havent seen anything other than 3 first gen Legacys (2 of them FWD) and a 91' Loyale out of every junkyard ive been too

is there a problem with cast form China or is it just that it wasnt US made? its the only ones i can affoard, and personaly i like them better than almost all the other ones

I like your choice but...notice where the spokes hit - there no lip. Those rims are very easy to curb and when you do they will look like heck...Look for rims with spoke inset and protected from damage and you thank me later.

Try these guys for wheel and tire deals...Great deals on the Enkies.

Or if you want to stick with tire rack (a great vendor) look at the SSR's or Gram lights. Those are proven, quality wheels at good prices.

Good luck and post pics when you get them!

I had those in anthracite on my wife's Neon a few years ago. She managed to bend 3 of the 4 wheels within 12 months without hitting a curb at high speed. Just normal wear and tear and some curbing while parking caused them to bend.

20lbs? I thought they were heavier than that. That's pretty good actually.

Yeah, the lug pattern and offset is right, so they'll fit. But as others have said, I'd be a little skeptical as to their quality.
