Default WCR alloys

Could someone tell me what the alloys are that the Subaru team use to the asfalt stages of the WRC and if they are available off the shelf to subaru owners????

Thanks
Chris.

PS> also on the new scooby too by the looks of things

you won't be able to fit a pukka WRC alloy to your car due to the width and offset of the wheel..............the WR cars use a one-off hub set-up that bears no relation to the production kit!!

you should be able to get a 'copy' wheel to give the rally look........current sponsorship for the wheels is BBS..........

The P-WRC1 is the road-going version of that style of WRC wheel. Available for every Impreza from a Subaru dealer.

The P-WRC1 has been around a while now, made by OZ, so will they're be a new BBS version on the horizon?

Yeah i have the P-WRC1 rims on my scooby but i'm after a wider track on my scoob and so need some rims with a different offset and wider rim to fill my new arches.

It's either new replica bbs ones if they do them or the P-FF7 ones.

The wheel we have for the STi fitted with Brembo brakes is ET46 so this may help a little.

It's the P-WRC1 wheel but it does fit inside the std bodywork on a later car so it may not fill the arches properly. Mind you, 22B wheels just about fit an 03/04 car as well
