Hey these wheels have taken abuse. On road, off road, train tracks, potholes, curbs. These things have taken 60k miles of abuse with no ill affects.

Pros:

Rock solid. Nice styling.
|
|
Cons:
|
Too skinny for any real performance needs.
|

These wheels also come on the MY04 (2004) cars also, so the starter of this thread might want to change it to reflect those cars too.
I liked the styling when I bought the car, but 16x6.5\'s are too narrow and tire options too limited for the way I drive. And when I found out that the Japanese and Europeans (and other world cars) have 17x7 versions very similar to the 16s they give us here, I was quick to jump on that (see my review here in the wheels section).
I have had plenty of show cars in the past (heavilly modified) and this car I promised my wife would be nothing like that. I very much intend to keep a factory look (whether those are USDM/EDM or otherwise) and not be as flashy as before. The factory US 16-inch wheels are stylish and durable providing a good all around wheel that looks good.

free with 02-03 Subaru WRX

rather have 17s

Not bad for an OEM wheel. Goes well with ol\' bugeyes. And if you live near dirt or snow it\'s good to keep a set of 16\'s around.

Pros:

i like the five spokes..... i rather have the torques on mine!
|
|
Cons:
|
pretty skinny
|
|
it likes good with YOKOHAMA AVS ES 100! 205 55 R16. i gives it a agressive look and makes it look wider. over all this rim is good for track days! great upgrade from the steelies that came with the imprezas.

Pros:
|
lightweight, proven on and off road, sturdy, stock looks (no cop attraction)
|
|
Cons:
|
could be wider, cannot use bbk\'s
|
|
Good all around rim, but kindof limits the tire size you use. Will probably upgrade to 17\'s to widen stance and eliminate tire rollover.

I can\'t believe you guys did a review on OEM parts...I\'m gonna review everything OEM then!

They\'re good for OEM wheels and you \"can\" run 225 width tires on them.

OEM quality, sleeper look, lightweight, easy to clean
|
|
Cons:

16 too small, can\'t really put a wide enough tire

came with the car but like everyone else you start to upgrade the car more and more with better looking, bigger, wider rims. Great for winter use

Cheap and available

Cons:

Ugly and common

Only worthwhile as a second (snow) set. Bought a second set cause it was cheap and came with RE92s that were for snow use. Otherwise, replace with Rotas!
