Why do you say they are replicas? If they are speedline wheels they are not replicas, Speedline made the wheels for Prodrive, just gave them a different name and the prodrive badge.

I had a set of these but had to get rid as they didn't fit over the 4 pot calipers. I got £250 with almost new Toyos and the wheels had just been refurbed

I'd take whatever you can as people just don't want them due to them only fitting over the nasty 2 pot brakes. The reason Prodrive brought out different wheels when the UK MY99 appear with 4 pot brakes.

I loved the look of mine tho . Shame.

My brother has just bought a type r with 4 pot calipers and it has these exact same wheels fitted. No problem clearing the calipers.

They aren't the same wheels. They are the speedlines that they prodruced to go on the RB5 (with 4 pots). They look similar but the spoke design is different to allow the clearance of the calipers (look where the spoke meets the rim).

I believe 4 pot clearance depends on the offset.
I think this style were also available for the Forester which had 4 pots, but these wheels are quite rare now

You'd need a min of 7mm spacers, so longer studs etc. Not a great solution. When i looked it was more like 8-10mm to give a bit of clearance between the caliper and wheel.

The Forester offset was 48mm.... just check on the inside of the wheel what ET it states, if it's 48 they will fit over any of the big brake kits too.

Most Foresters came with 2 pots

Most of us have upgraded to 4 pots

However, stick them on here www.subaruforester.org in the european section as there are a few still running 2 pots

good luck
