Question

Guys,

I'm looking for a set of 17" wheels for a Dark Green 4 door turbo.

I had my heart set on the BBS RX wheels, but after waiting a month for them to come out in a spec to suit the Impreza, I have been told that this will not be happening



Does anyone have any pictures of any other decent 17" wheels that look similar to the above wheel ?

I am considering the OZ supperleggras, but I would prefer a silver wheel and am not sure how the anthracite would look on a dark green car. Also, I prefer a more distinct paired spoke look. Does anyone have a photo of this combination ?

Thanks,

Andrew

I thought athracite wheels look on a green car!

I use to have a MY97 with Superturmiso wheels in silver. The looked good, until I had them powder coated in Volvo T5 anthracite. Darker than the OZ's, but still looked very cool.

I'm afraid I can't seem to find any piccies of it, but I will carry on looking. If I find, I scan them and post them here!

Hi Andrew

are you going to Knockhill on 17th March ? I am and will probably be driving up with my Superleggeras on the car ( silver my99)as there is going to be a tyre firm there who have said they'll make any wheel changes for us...so I can swop my wheels over.Anyway, a long winded way of saying you could put them on your car for a definitive answer if u wanted ? ( I think a small donation is requested for the tyre firm for doing this for us )Let me know if you're interested.

cheers

Guys look forward to seeing you there, out of interest, do either of you guys have a scoobysport or scoobymania exhausts, I'm considering one or other, and would really like to compare the two sounds.

I'll be in an RB5 with track plates on "ANDY W"

Might be worth having a look at the Raceline RL-7s. They come in silver or anthracite. I have the anthracite ones on my car (DBM) and look the dogs b's
