I voted for the Tarmac 3 Silvers, but I think some Tarmac 3's in bronze (full royal) would look excellent.

I think this is the DC6 and it is the one I wanted but the wait was way too long. I love those wheels and would love to see them on your car.

the picture of the hyper silver t3 is actually a plain silver tarmac 2

Hyper Silver tarmac 3's look cool, but Hyper Black Tarmac 3's would be the clear choice for your car, it will go well with the color scheme of your car, it will match the wing well.

They are 18x8 btw

Those tenzo's you posted are 18x9.5 with a concave face and a lot offset

the ones you get for your subaru will have a flatter face.

maybe that's why they said they were discontinued because its actually 18x8 and ya I noticed that on the tenzos face it says 18x9.5. Concaveness would be less if any. I really like those tenzos hmmm.

who said they were discontinued?

18x8.5 never existed in the tarmac 3's

There used to be an 18x7.5, but that's it

I went to get a couple price quotes. This rim shop that sells rotas told me that they are no longer making the Tarmac 3s in the hyper black finish. He said he was on the phone with ROTA direct in the East Bay.

With all due respect, you should never shop for a Rota with anyone other than SubyDude. Excellent people, period.
