Are these standard in the UK? If not, does anyone know what they are?

They are standard 03 WRX alloys on the UK models and are in the for sale section at the moment for a very reasonable price.

I think they come as standard all over Europe. I always wondered why Subaru USA still puts ugly cheap 16" on the WRX...

Hah, I don't think there's anyone in the USA who is happy with the 16 inch wheels and our, literally, fat-assed seats.




Rumor has it that we're getting 17" standard for the next MY.

The problem with these wheels is they clip the wheel balance weights to the outside of the rim, so when you have the wheels re balanced they leave nasty marks where the wheel weight used to be. Nice one Subaru !!

I might be interested if they're still for sale in about a month. Shipping might tear me a new one, though..
