From pros, looks good, very common, cheap, from cons, a bit on heavy side for 16" wheels (but one can consider that as strength too, as far as they can handle bad roads), and they are even more tucked in due offset then our stock wheels. Good common cheap step-up from steelies on budget
Hard to find here in the US though...we only got the 16x7 5 spoke pictured on the 98 and 99 Impreza 2.5RS. The 2000 and 2001 got the 6 spoke 16x7 wheel which is also nice. But there aren't many 1998-2001 Imprezas running around in good condition any more.

IMO I'd also be wary of putting a 20 year old wheel on my car...to some wheels are a wear item....
