Don't use steelies.
I have seen them broken more than once.
It 's weak between the stud bolts and they'll rip, causing wheels to fall off the car.

as for the suggestion, TE37 would be nice

but there are other nice rims for rally
here's ENKEI

here's racinghart

I'm sure there are a lot of selections in US too. How about the stock 1st gen Legacy alloy to start with since you are looking for cheap rims. You can find them in junkyards
or you can buy new

I like ENKEI ER01 too, not sure if they have the correct size in US

thanks for the pics, and the info.

i'll probably stay away from the steelies, but wasn't sure what the next step up was.

don't want to spend a ton on the wheels, just enough so they don't break when i'm rallycrossing...

Another choice would be Speedlines. I know that Speedline makes a 15inch wheel that will clear the Subaru 4pots. And it is the exact wheel that the Subaru Rally Team USA uses on their cars.

yeah speedline and compomotive both have 15" wheels, but I don't want to spend 150-200 on a rally wheel. i'm looking for cheap. i am going to try and get some used 15" legacy wheels.
