Are you talking about this?


If yes, the size is 17x7"



If you are looking for the biggest in diameter USDM OEM wheels in 5x100, that'd be 18".

'10-11 Legacy GT comes w/ 18x7.5"


'06-07 Legacy GT specB comes w/ 18x7"


'08-09 Legacy GT specB comes w/ 18x7"


'08-09 Legacy 3.0R also comes w/ 18x7"




If you are looking for the biggest in width USDM OEM wheels in 5x100, that'd be 8".

'11 WRX comes w/ 17x8"


^ This'd be the lightest among the ones I mentioned above. This'd be the one I roll on w/ 245/40-17 tires.

I really like these. The reality about the spec b rim is it's too rare and therefore really expensive.

So 2011 Wrx guys. Wanna move away from your stock rims?
Will buy them or trade my grids.

Think you may have missed the point of this thread brotha! I'm not trying to put the biggest rims on. I was trying to find the largest and best looking oem Subaru rims in 5X100. The finalists are:

'04 STi bbs. 17's. Great rim and also forged but rare and overpriced.

'06-'07 legacy gt spec B. 18's. Best looking, even more rare than bbs and way overpriced.

'11 WRX rims. 17's. Lowest price. Good looking, lighter than the two above, and wider (17X8).

I don't think this info is correct.

AFAIK, '04 STi BBS weighs about 16.5 lbs.

Good to know. Info I found said 23lbs which sounded suspect.
