Impreza RS 6 spokes.

El Cheapo functional setup. They are direct bolt-on fitment. The car definitely feels livelier and more communicative than with the heavy-ass stock wheels and Primacys. They're pretty scratched up and look a little dumpy, but they do the job. They just need some paint.

16"x7" 53 offset
They weigh about 16ish lbs without tires. I forgot to weight the tire/wheel combo but I'll get around to it. Tires are 205/55/16

Whaddya think? Not too bad for $350

I would try one, people have had some issues with other Subaru wheels and the center bore being just slightly too small for the hubs even though they are 56.1.

Impreza RS 6-spoke wheels (00-01) are 16x7 +53, and they'll fit just fine. I would want spacers for looks, but that's me.

Here's a BRZ on 98-99 RS wheels of the same dimensions.

Here's NASIOC's master OE wheel spec thread.

Thanks a bunch! They fit pretty well. There's a little more wheel gap and they're 5 mm more sunken in, but I don't really mind. I just like how the brakes better fill out the wheels
