Those wheels ('91-93 SS) were also used on the first 2-3 years of Outbacks. I see them, literally, all the time in the DIY junkyards here.

Yeah it took me ages to find a set of 5-spokes. Cool look for sure. But the 91-93 style are actually used by rally cars (albiet non-pro teams), due to strength.

The 91-93 Legacy SS wheels are the same as the 95-97 Outback wheels, but the centercap is a different color. :-D

they actually used the same wheel on the 98 outback too, 99 was the only one with the different wheels

as far as being the same wheel, I've had both ss and outback wheels and the seem to be the same weight

Actually, the '98 and '99 Outback both got the newer style wheels.
See the Outback in the background of this picture, it is a '98 with the original '98 wheels on it. They got rid of the SS/old Outback style wheels after '97. You can click on it to zoom in.
