Subaru imprezza wheels on a superbug


Seeing as they are the same offset and stud pattern as my current wheels i thought i would borrow one off a mate and see how it looked on the car. My current wheels are 17x7s off a Liberty B4 and these are 16x6.5s. I think they look pretty good, maybe with a higher profile tyre and the car a bit lower.

The ones with the split spoke and bit more of a curve? Those are nice. I thought they looked pretty similar. One of the reason i borrowed them

I honestly prefer what's on it now. Why go smaller? Or less wide...

We were thinking of getting a set track wheels if we cant fit Rspecs on my current wheels. Just threw them on to have a look. Not really a serious thing. Yes they are subaru bolt pattern Joel which is 5x100. We went that pattern because my current wheels fit right with the 944 rear end that is in mine and the track increase that it causes.

They look OK, but I prefer the wheels you have at the moment.

Just take your time and ask questions
The offset needed for "supers" can be hard to get right

You will notice the Empi's probally sit a bit wide on your super at the front

The V Force Spider is a good choice
6" with 36ET offset
You will need thinner springs on the front though

Thanks so much Pete for changing my name to Sherbie!!

I am looking at sticking with the empi's I have been happy with them. When I sold her & then got her back the mags have not had the best of care. I saw this set & liked them. Now all I have to do is save up but am getting her re-sprayed before new mags. I need a 2nd job just to pay for all the things I want/need for Sherbie :lol: Hubby just sits here rolling his eyes as the list is growing but as he got his Harley I still have some leverage.

They aren't my previous wheels. I still have them on the car. I just tried them on to see what they looked like (as it says at the very top)
