17x7.0 +48

I've always had a warm place in my heart for these wheels. They're really nothing special. Not particularly light and certainly not expensive in the used market. Although I've realized they are impossible to find in a 5x100. My friend came down from NH with his Legacy and we decided to swap wheels just for fun.

My opinion: They obviously look small because the spokes don't reach the edge of the wheels like they do one the stockers. If I were to get aftermarket wheels I'd probably prefer to go for something that provided a performance upgrade, I've got Kosei K4R's in mind. 17x8 in a +35. I'd love to have these for winter wheels or just for fun though because I think they looked great still. Tire specs are still 215/45/17

Looks better than stock IMHO

Look great!

Bias: I like lighter colored wheels on dark cars.

Do we know the offset?

Also, added this to the wheel directory:

Agreed! Offsets are +48. Same as stock

Would your friend be interested in selling them ?

I think they look quite nice for 17"ers. Much better than the stock wheels, which I find rather fugly.

Looks good :)

I got first dibs as soon as soon he finds a set of the OEM JDM wheels for his car :D

Go ahead, be a grinch! :happy0180:

that's a good look for your car

looks good - do you have any closeup of those wheels to see what you mean about the spokes ? thanks

At roughly 17lbs they are light and im looking for a set right now. Love the way they look on a GBS!

Looks like they might be off the Saab 92X wagon, which was the Subaru WRX wagon twin. If only they came wider and in a lower offset.

Your weight estimate is right where I would put them. I had them in 18x7.5" (5x114.3) and those were 18.4 pounds so right around 17-17.5 seems about right for these 17"x7".

I definitely like how they look, I lowered my car and my friends visiting again soon, I might borrow the wheels again to see how they look now.

Were they an OEM option on the Saabaru? If so that's a good place to start looking. Don't quote me on this but from my research I've speculated that a 17x8" +35 may exist as 5x100. That would be perfect IMO.

If I stumbled upon a set of these in 5x100 I would not hesitate to buy. They look good on everything.
