Just make sure they are Subaru wheels and not Toyota wheels. (They have a different offset)

I have been pondering the purchase of these rims for about four months now.

Two things have been stopping me

1 - the rims are not Subaru hubcentric but they do give you rings. I don't auto-x but if I do, this might lead to some problems

2 - the screws may have a cheap chrome nickel plating that may flake off and cause rusting on the rims

Is this worrying over nothing?

I wouldn't get these myself... I know it's a really good price but if I'm gonna get something I'm gonna make damn sure it's 100% right for my car, even if it costs a few more bones (that's why I'm alway saving never buying

)
What's the width on these wheels? -50mm offset seems like it's too much I think. Shouldn't we be looking for somewhere in the 43 to 48 neighborhood. Billy's concerns are legit too, but I can't say much more than that.
Make sure you think it through carefully. For this price you can get Rota's that are specially built to fit our cars. Just my 2 cents.

how much do they weigh, and what kind of tire r they giving you. a POS tire on heavy cheap rims doesnt sound like a deal to me.
