How can you not like em???
They look cheap and tacky IMO.
Not suited to the Impreza's lines at all, plus the finish does not work with the dated classic shape. Too "blinging" is the phrase I believe?

Suppose your intitled to your own oppinion!!
Would you rather i went down the same road as nearly every other Impreza owner and fit Super legros or Prodives??
Some of us are after individuality and to try and look a bit different from the next Scooby. To do this you need to take risks, not copy everyone else.
So far i havnt seen them on another Scooby, but i have seen BK 238 wheels on a few.
And i wish they were cheap, then i would have saved a few pennies!
Atleast there is some people out there who like them. As i do!

I have to agree with some of the other posts,they dont look good at all,the rear lights and exhaust included just scream,cheap old Subaru with bling accesories.
But if you like it then who gives a stuff what we say.

WRX IOM...
You are awfully defensive for someone who openly asked for peoples opinions.....
If you don't like what you hear, then perhaps your initial post shouldn't have said...
BTW, you may think that Superleggeras and Prodrives are not particularily "individual" or even common, but have you heard the phrase...
"If it isn't broke, don't fix it" ??
The wheels you list are classics, and quite simply, cannot make an Impreza look bad.
These wheels however........

I'm not sure about those wheels either. To be individual I think there are plenty of other nice rims like Advan's, Volk's etc. you don't see much. I just like the racing style. But I see you are not after that kinda style, so it's cool.

The world would be such a boring place if we all drove around in the same looking car!!
But maybe you like that sort of thing?
To be honest i dont care what you think, as long as i like and enjoy it.
Like i said, you need to take risks. Not take a back seat and watch the world go by and stick to the same old mods. Where is the fun in that!

You seem to be very opinionated. What MY and spec do you drive. It makes a change to have something different. You might as well drive a nova if you want to be the same as everyone else!
Again all to there own all though it's nice to see something different.

I agree with Talizman..personally I don't think the wheels suit the car, its as simple as that.
You asked for peoples opinions and thats what you have had. There will always be a difference of opinion when you try something different, and the comments seem more in favour than against, but don't get stropy about someone giving you their honest opinion.
I admire you taking a different route to modding the scoob, I wouldn't have done it to mine, but as you say its a personal choice. You're right, so long as you like it, who gives a f**k, but if you think you might be critisied, don't ask !!

I hope you bought the car with them lexus lights on and didnt buy them yourself
As for the wheels,im afraid it doesnt suit the car at all IMO but i agree that superLs and prodrive wheels are too common on scoobs.I also went for a wheel that ive never seen on an impreza but in gold i can get away with it
.As long as you're happy with them fair play to you

Started quite a debate me-thinks! :D
RB5 IOM,
I am only opinionated, when I am asked for my opinion!
WRX IOM asked what people think, and because I oblige, it makes me "very opinionated"? LMAO
I agree that change is good and each to their own, but a line must be drawn somewhere!
Like Elmer says, I drive the same as you, (RB5) but true to what you say, my car is running on non-standard rims! After all, wouldn't be much fun if we were all the same now would it? lol
And Elmer me old mate....
I don't dislike your wheels..... I just prefer the SuperL's
I couldn't exactly slag off the Turninis when I've got a Clio Cup sitting outside wearing a set!
GarethE.....
So many words of wisdom mate! Couldn't have put it better myself!

Don't worry about peoples opinion too much dude You did ask for it. You probably would have topped yourself if you'd have seen the responses I got lol. I went from this
To this Bear inmind they are exactly the same wheels just refurbed in white You'd have thought that i'd put a BMW badge on the front or something judging by some of the responses i got
So just to really pi55 the "You can't do that to your car" brigade, I went out and did this
Again, you'd have thought i'd smashed a baby or a puppy through the back window. lol
Did i loose any sleep? No, cos it's mine. Anyways, do I like ya wheels, hell yeah, exhaust? Nice, Lexus lights Nah!
Sleep tight geezer

Afternoon All,
WRXIOM, the first scooby I have seen with those wheels on so good on you for being individual.
Don't take what talizman is saying to personally however as he and others on here are just voicing their opinions as asked too at the start of your thread.
Maybe i'll get some spinner's on mine
