Spiffy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 welcome! yes, those wheels are much nicer than the covers that were on there before... nice to see those non-US options as well... neat headlight squirters... and in-bumper rear license plate light... cool air dam on the front.... --Spiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Looks very much like mine other than the trim line and non US options. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q200/SMASHmySOOByDONTya/Subarus/DSC_0154.jpg The wheels look really good! Never really thought gold would go that nicely with red but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Wheels look nice, but were not designed to fit your car. You might have a problem with the front brake caliper hitting the wheel, if you have vented rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I like the gold rims along with a well cared for suby! Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Real nice looking 'Ru. The Gold rims makes a big difference. quote The wheels look really good! Never really thought gold would go that nicely with red but it does quote The USMC seem to think Crimson (red) and Gold works well together.

Rene Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Wheels look nice, but were not designed to fit your car. You might have a problem with the front brake caliper hitting the wheel, if you have vented rotors. They fit perfect , no problem at all with the frontbrakes. These wheels coming from the previous model leone ( in the us loyale ). In Europe these wheels where an option on the 4wd models at the early 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe these wheels where an option on the 4wd models at the early 80's Its hard for me to tell because of the lighting and angles and the differences are subtle. The 80 to 84 wagon wheel types would not work on Subaru's from 85 up. Thats the way it is here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you have worn brake pads then the wheels will fit fine but if you have new-ish pads than the calipers will hit on the spokes of the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 about the wheel clearance, you can grind off the edge of the calipers to correct that, or use ea82 spoke wheels. 85 and 86 ea82 calipers clar a lot better. i like the gold wheels. it remids me of this: that is a firebird wing on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rene Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Hi all... Some update's from Holland.. After a inspection of the car , we discoverd some huge problem at the bottom : It was possible to fixed it , but it costs about 400 euro's so i decided to say goodbey to the good old sooby. I bought it in august 2006 for 250 euro's , and had it for 2,5 years with lots of fun and memory's Usualy i drive 'low budget cars' , never spended more money then maximal +/- 500 euro's to buy a car and ride it for 2 or 3 years. I agreed with my wive to spend a lot more cash for a car , so since may 15 we drive this one : Say hello to the next sooby ( my fifth subaru ) an impreza plus 1,6gl fwd This car is from oktober 1994 The wheels , missing 4 covers... Those wheels coming from a legacy 2,2 gx.. Edited June 17, 2009 by Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
