Daskuppler Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hello Everyone, I have a 2002 Impreza TS currently riding on 3 bent steel 15x6 5-100 wheels. The tires are almost new, less than 10k on them so I don't really want to go to a 16" wheel and get rid of the $800 in rubber. The wheels were apparently bent at time of install, but the shop won't cover new rubber only the labor to remount and balance. I have been working with Discount Tire and been through 7 or 8 different wheels all of which are either unavailable, on back order, they only have 3 of them, or one of the 4 is miraculously damaged prior to shipping. I have checked Tire Rack as well and they really only offer one or two different wheels which I don't like and/or don't want to pay the hefty price tag for. I live in a state with many potholes and snow/ice so I don't want the cheapest wheel around but, but I certainly don't need a rally spec wheel. Or should I just stick with replacement steel wheels? Does anyone have any recommendations on where to purchase a decent set of wheels online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 ask here, , over at www.subaruoutback.org, at NASIOC, maybe evn the forester and legacy forums. Put a WTB (want to buy) in the classifieds. But finding a 15" wheel will be a challenge I think. The new rims might come with rubber so....just depends on what's around. Maybe check Ebay too. shipping will be crazy expensive unless local pickup or a meet-up is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I have a set of gold 15" rims aluminum. They are not the best, but could be cleaned up with a little work. $40 for all 4. Colorado Springs. They have worn tires on them. Discount Tire about 3 miles from the house. Larry 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
