Looking for some white rims...need opinions

Hey. I think most people have seen the pics i posted on the rims that i rattle canned. But I am starting to look for some real rims. Keeping the painted ones clean is such a huge pain in the ***.

Plus my parents made some extra income this year, so since the skimpped on my biday and x-mas last year, they wanna hook it up.

I am looking for some rims that look a little similar to the stockers on the 06-07. i would like 6 or more spokes. i just am not a huge pan of the 5 spoke. Plus i would like the spoked to be a tiny wider than,lets say the sti stockers.

ANy suggestions would be nice.

here is what i have now.

Multi-spoke, thick spokes? I'm trying here Could prob special order white center with that polished lip, would be a different take, prob not done often.

In white always looks sick imo. (assuming you said you still wanted a white wheel).

Really not any wheels that I know of that have 6+ spokes that are thicker than a stock STi bbs. All the multi-spoke (over 6 spokes) are generally of a CE28 spoke thickness or thinner with lots of spokes. I honestly dunno whatchu want picky man. I say white TE37's if you're goin for the white rim look. They're classic.

Oh, sorry Irish, I did forget one that might suit you aside from the TE37's, the Work XT7. I've actually seen someone with white XT7's, and it did look good, and looked somewhat similar to your stockers (has 7 spokes). That is all...

Told you the XT7 in white was hot.

BTW, all Volk wheels with the stickers, they're totally removable. In fact they tend to SLOWWWWLLLY chip away over the months of use on your car, and end up having half the letter 'o' and the top of your 'k' in Volk, etc. Prob better without the stickers anyway, but the Work XT7 is hotness too, and possibly cheaper I'm gonna wager.

+1 for the info

yeah that work XT7 is super hot. those are pry my favorite white rims i have ever seen.

i guess if i get new rims i might as well go to 18". but right now those XT7's are which way i am leaning. those are the closest i have seen to what i want i am still looking for a side shot of them

I think these are pretty nice. For sale by a member in Hawaii though.

thanks but nto really what i am looking for.

i am looking for thick spokes similar to what vodka posted about the Work Xt7

I am debating on going 17 or 18 inch. i liek the 17's just fine.

but 18's might be worth it since i am getting new rims anyway.

18x8.5 (unknown offset - possibly +48):


Now don't start drooling (ok prob too late as you'll have seen the pic already) but this is an 18x9.5 and I believe +38 offset 5x100. So you prob won't get this concave look to fit on your subie since wagons need widebody OR sedan front fenders I believe plus fender mods, and without going as far as a widebody you'd still poke and be "hella flush" . On with the white XT7 sex.




If that hasn't greased your wallet to grab some white TE37's or XT7's nothing will! BTW there's a shortage of wagons running white TE37's, or white XT7's, so it'd be a pretty cool sight to see. I say both wheels look sick though.

Dude, you know I'm all for the white TE37's!
The real question is when are you going to paint those tail lights?
