I'm looking at some Rota wheels that are 17.75" (I really want 18.75") we'll see. but I was actually wondering what the size is of the stock WRX wheels. My friend and I were having a debate on wether they were 15 or 16, are either of those even right?

 

16 x 6.5

 

16 X 6.5

Subaru USA gave us the Impreza RS2.5 16" wheels for some strange reason...the rest of the world gets 17x7" wheels on the WRX. It's even stamped into the drivers side door plate too. Glad I was able to source some. I like the stealth factor and improved handling.

16x6.5 +55

 

Where'd you manage to find the 17X7 version?

 

I posted up my OEM 16" for sale or trade for the 17" UK/JDM versions. A guy in Minnesota PM'ed me with his offer and later emailed me photos. I paid him $400, he shipped me his 17's with tires, and I used his shipping boxes and sent back my OEM wheels and tires. We each paid shipping one-way (which was about $100). He was reverting his car back to stock so it worked out for both of us.

They come up for sale once in awhile on the classifieds. They come in gunmetal, silver, and gold colors.

 

I'll keep an eye out - I think they look great on your ride. Would love some gunmetal 17X7s on my black '05 wagon.

 

Thanks! I usually see more silver sets turn up than the gunmetal. Maybe try some of the tuning shops that import JDM stuff too...though it may be kinda pricey that way. I've seen the gunmetal ones on a black car in Australia...it looks great.

Good luck!

 

 

That does look great... time to start searching!
