What's the size and specs?

The BBS joints on the old VW's were always cool, if only they were bigger.

16x75 I forget the offset on my bro vw but my buddy has vw bug rims on his 92 and they fit nice.. There should be no fitting problem at all. But think they will look good on the turbo?

I think they will look great...

If I were you though I'd try and source out a set of used BBS RK's from WRX.. the Upgraded wheel package. Probably harder to find and pricier than the 16's but they're some hot.

Someone is selling a set on Nasioc, or on TSC right now for 1200$ with tires.

those won't

Those won't fit. They are 1" wider than the 16x6.5" often found on Legacies, and the offset is 35mm rather than the 55mm found on legacies. So not considering the tires involved, the wheels will stick out 33mm farther than 16x6.5" I'm pretty sure they will slam into your fenders at that point, immediately.

holy cow, 35mm offset?

You want a +48mm offset on a 7.5" rim.
