Default What model car are those wheels from?

Hello there,

I'm looking to get a new set of alloys for my car, but I want to remain with Subaru wheels.

I've seen a pair that I really like but can't find them anyway? and I can't find out what model IMpreza they're from.

I beleive them to be 17's possible 18's. They are a silver 6 spoke design with the spoke being twin, similar to momo arrows but the spokes are alot thinner.

Any ideas? Photos would help. I've trolled E-bay and none that I can see.

There the ones!!

I was told that there were a standard Subaru alloy on some models?

Is this right or are they just a commonly choosen wheel like the rondals for Escort cossies?

They look a bit like RB5 wheels to me.

very close looking, to mine

you can get them in 16's or 17's, but the 17's are very hard to get. There called 7 x 17 Speedline GT1 - 12 spoke alloy wheels

Similar to the RB5 wheels, which were gunmetal grey rather than gold.

Look identical my Prodrive Speedline's, except mine have the Prodrive centre caps. Incidentally, I'll be selling these in the near future

Mine look like these though, with the spokes going straight out to the rim rather than coming back in like yours. I'll try and get some pics of them later as the ones on my plus profile aren't the best pics of the wheels (although you can see what I mean in them)

Got to say I do like the RB5 Gunmetal wheels, I dont like my gold wheels. The gold look is looking so old now.

The Chrono was a Prodrive option, and came in 17"

The Chrono will not clear 4 pots unless used with a 5mm spacer (I found out the hard way), when the RB5 was being produced Speedline redesigned the wheel so it would clear the 4 pots
