BRZ wheels on Forester XT

In case anyone wants to see what the BRZ OEM rims look like on another Subaru with the same bolt pattern and offset, here is the result of my experiment putting them on a 2004 Forester XT to replace my stock 16's......thanks to a great seller on this forum.

My backup plan if I didn't like the outcome was to powdercoat gunmetal (similar to OEM WRX rims). But I absolutely love the result. As many have said, these rims tend to look better in person and grow on you over time. The aspen white color and tie in with other gray/black/polished trim (e.g tint, rear hatch trim, grill, C pillar, etc) helps, as do the 225/55 Falken 912's and Swift springs that lower the car about 1.5 inches - gives nice full wheel wells. The blue logo centre caps are way cool.

How well a rim suits a car is obviously a really subjective thing. Just thought this might help folks trying to sell take offs to Subaru owners.

Anyone know of other Foresters on BRZ rims?
