What are the best, cheap wheels?
 
Sorry if this has been asked before. I didn't find anything when I searched. I will be picking up a used set of 17" Blizzaks and was wondering what would be the best, cheap wheels I could find. I'd prefer used alloy wheels, so, what other car's OEM rims will work?

Thanks

Tc wheels, or rotas are cheap.

Thanks. When I Google "rotas" the images aren't very confidence inspiring. But the TC rims should be easy to find.

XXRs. Killer stance and color choices for like $120/wheel shipped

Gotta Say XXR's 527's are great cheap wheels with decent quality. I am gonna grab a set for everyday wheels :)

I think the responses so far are missing the point. He's looking for wheels for a set of Blizzaks, not going for stance.

Plenty of people on here are looking to get rid of the stock wheels for almost nothing. You may be able to find some WRX wheels for that would fit, or just get some steelies. I had Blizzak's mounted on my stock wheels and am getting a nice summer set come spring, that would be my advice.

It's not that Google shows only a few rims, its that it shows broken ones like this:

RPF1 & Gramlights are affordable.

That's because it's the internet. One person has a bad experience and suddenly everyone knows about it, or worse yet, it becomes a meme. There's also plenty of pictures of other broken/bent/dorked up wheels as well if you know what to search for. Rotas are fine. If you're building a time attack car or a track machine there's certainly better options, but for a daily driver Rotas are perfectly fine.

Steelies for winter, not alloys.

Look up Volk TE37s.

Anything 5x100, so ideally another Subaru. Toyota Celica from 1999-2003 would work too, but they're up to 16" in size.

VW OE wheels aren't the best but they will also work, many of them are 5x100. Just make sure the proper lug nuts are used for the wheel, since they are a larger 14mm lug bolt which results in less lug nut seat area.

for about $500, you can get a brand new set of xxrs or sparco wheels.


Im using 17x7.5 sparco assetto gara with the blizzaks LM60 for this winter months and 17x8.25 +25 with stock Michelin tires for the warmer months last year, but Ill be using my forged 3pc wheels this coming spring :D


note: on the first pic with red wheels was blizzaks ws60 205/40/17 ...but I sold them and switched them with the 225/45/17 LM60( 2nd pic w/ red wheels) now.
