Wheels (I'll ask again)

[fleming442]

So, is this bunch just too cheap, or does noone have aftermarket wheels? I have a bent factory on my 02 OBW, and thought it would be a good time to jazz it up a little. After doing a search on here, all I come up with is: the factories have a 56.1mm center bore, a 48-55mm offset, and a 5x100 bolt pattern. I see multiple mentions of the aftermarkets being mostly 35mm offset, and implications of premature bearing wear. Seriously? I just can't see 10-15mm making that much of a difference, other than it looking screwy for sticking out too far. I'm not looking to break the bank, but I would like something other than the boring factories. So, let me see some pics; what have you done?

I still have the stylish plastic hubcaps that came with my top of the line brighton wagon.....

 

I'm too cheap... sorry I can't help more.

I can find wheels all day long on Craigslist and Nasioc.

Just depends on what you want to spend.

Rota makes cheap, decent looking wheels in the right size and offset for subarus. I've had 2 sets of them and they have been fine.

You can find a big selection of inexpensive wheels with the correct offset at TireRack.com; just choose a set you like the look of. I got mine for $100 each, and a few weeks later they went on sale for $69 each. The folks at TireRack are good to deal with; they even called me up because I went with a non-standard fitment (235/45-18 on 18x8 wheels with a 48 mm offset).

Thanks for the replies!!!! That's what I was looking for. I don't mess with CG much (at all), but was looking to spend about $100 or less/wheel.
