I found some tC wheels for dirt cheap on CL so I decided to start a little project. That little project ended up taking several weekends over a couple months and more money than it was worth, but I'm happy with how they turned out.
If you decide to go this route, there are a couple things to keep in mind:
- You'll need to widen the center bore by 2mm (most machine shops can do this for you)
- You'll need some oddball shank lug nuts with Subaru thread pitch (Discount Tire found them for me from Gorilla, part number is 73127SMB; they also had some in their warehouse from Bimecc but they were mislabeled and different heights
)
My girlfriend and I painted them using Duplicolor graphite/clear. Some rough spots but no chipping! (yet)
It was a labor of love, I swear.
