picked these up yesterday from the local JY. gonna get a color change before they are mounted...
still need suspension too. think i am going to try the wrx wagon struts with some lowering springs route. seems like an affordable and efficient way of doing it.

sweet rims, what color are they gonna be?
As quoted from the suspension compendium:
legacy turbo W...............134..........0"...............190...........0"
WRX Wagon (MT/AT) .163/163.........?.............132/144......?
What an amazingly poor match. I know you don't care all that much about performance, but i wonder if the ride height will even be close, or what will happen if you haul something.

Nice choice, those wheels are cool.
Is it safe to assume they will be properly shod with correctly sized tires?

they are going to be a p-coated a gunmetal color most likely. i am thinking probably 205/50/16s for der rubber.
these wheels arent wide enough to get any stretch out of em, unfortunately.
i am still up in the air as far as the suspension, but you're right i am not concerned with ultimate performance. ideally id like something that rode stiffer than stock, lowered the car about 2", and didnt sag in the ass end like most of the lowered wagons ive seen.
i dont haul anything so thats not a concern. i dont even haul ass, i am a very cautious driver.
p.s. i can see ive already garnered a rep around here haha, a shitty one, but i guess sometimes its better to be remembered poorly than not at all.

Someone had a set for sale here in the SE not too long ago. Too bad I couldn't afford them...
I was planning on getting a set of the RS 6-spokes for mine. They looked really sweet on there when Opie had them on there, and they will clear the Subaru 4-pots I hope to get.

Nice find. Those should look very nice in gunmetal.

Those were the wheels I really wanted, but couldn't find them anywhere cheap. P-coating's pretty expensive (why I didn't do mine), but should come out awesome.

i have a place that does great work and charges me $160 to blast and coat every square inch of 4 wheels.

That's a nice deal. I remember seeing a reasonable place a few years back, but all I could find recently was $125 each so I left the wheels stock and I think they look better than I expected.
