Woah, 800 bucks?
I had NO idea those things were worth that much. Are they?

Size: 14" X 5.5", basically the same size as a nonturbo Legacy factory wheel
Weight: Pretty light, in the neighborhood of 15 lbs per wheel
Offset: No idea, but who cares? It's a factory Subaru wheel that fits on our cars perfect.
I know $800 might seem a little steep, but the only other way to get 4 brand new XT6 wheels and 4 new center caps is to go straight to the dealer and spend about $2000 as I said.

Err... they are all left-rolled, shouldn´t two of them "roll" the opposite way to be correct? Just wondering.

nope, only one subaru has directional wheels, and that's the svx.
Hell even other automakers dont make that many directional wheels. including porsches and other upscale models.

I don't think I've ever seen a set of wheels that actually had one pair reversed. Usually they're all the same. It looks just fine since you very rarely see both sides of a car at once.

Most older Hondas had them, the old Accords and Preludes...
I'm considering one last price drop, since I might try for slightly larger wheels.

Supercharged T-Birds had L and R hand wheels.

Should be directional wheels, look UGLY.
Distracting. It's why I would never buy an RX-8. The wheels "spin" in the correct direction on the drivers side, but the wrong side on the Pass. side.
The 92 Ford Taurus SHO had non-directional wheels, but the 93 to 95 had directional wheels. Past that, they were uni-directional.

Okay, I've made a decision. I'm gonna sell these wheels for sure. I've decided to go a different route with my Legacy.
I might already have a potential buyer on these, but I will post this up here anyway, because I am 100% sure I want to sell these.
My final asking price:
$400 plus shipping. That literally makes it a break-even deal for me, as I paid $300 plus shipping for them myself, and then had to buy two center caps.
Since Hardy's old website has gone defunct, here's the picture again:

Okay, this is it.
$250 plus shipping.
If they don't sell by May 31st, I'm tossing them in the scrap bin at the dealership.

One more price drop: $200 plus shipping. I'm not kidding about scrapping them.

Bring them to a recycler instead of dumping them. At least you could get some beer money for the metal.

I don't understand why you wouldn't keep them rather than throw them away?
if you are going to throw them away you might as well let me pay shipping to get them to my house haha
unfortunately I don't have the other $200 you're asking to go with that though
