They look small, if they're 15+ I think I'd like them, 14 or smaller I wouldn't.

meh. I'm not really into that style of older looking wheels. See them on a lot of VWs and stuff like that. Just not my taste but in the end it's all about what you think not anyone else really.

Okay so those rims are 14s. I figured they'd look wierd.
But the same guy has these for sale too. And he said he will sand blast them and paint them any color for $30.
What do you think?

Ehhhh not feellin those at all, if the price is right they might be worth trying, but I don't think they'll look good at all. I vote keep looking. I think you should just keep a lookout in the parts shed, the wheels fs section on rs25.com and Nasioc.

Where are you located? I have some WRX 16s for sale

I vote for the first ones if the offset is right. I like retro. 8)

Hmmm. People diggin' the first wheels eh? lol.

If i get them, im thinking something like a nice black lip, with a bright floresent centre color. My car will be candy red eventually so i think green will look some kind of awesome. Let me know what you think guys.

I don't mind the first set.


The second set looks like something I'd find on an '80's Lebaron or something like that.

I was thinking FWD Chrysler also on the second set. It is very similar to the "snowflake" Trans Am wheels, but it's the wrong offset.

Yea I like the first ones, but I don't know about 14s...Never been a fan of stock size aftermarket wheels, 15s would be okay since it's a plus size for most Legacys.

I'd say polish them though or paint them silver, flourescent only looks good on modded cars that would already draw attention on their own.

If you can get a better picture of them and a picture of you car from the same angle, I could photoshop them on in various colors.

I think you might be right my man.

And I think I'm going to get them if the off-set is right and if they're the right lug pattern.
And as for colors I think I'm going to go black centre and polished lips. I think that will look respectable and clean.
