Numbchux Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm so freakin excited, I wish I had a subaru here to put them on so I did the next best thing, I took them out of the bags and took pictures of them neatly stacked in the shed! Yep, 15"ers 4 with paint and tires, and one full size spare. Thanks of course to all who got them here! baccaruda northwet snowstormer (nice to meet you, nice wagon!) and mcbrat (I think held them for a while) they've had quite a journey, but finally, I have pugs!!!

A DOG Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 DAMN!! If only I could get me a pair of them. Then I wouldn't have to re drill my yotas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yes, the wheels did have a long and winding road. I am glad they finally got to you. I will add my personal thanks to McBrat for being the waypoint, and for Snowstormer to take them up to you. Thanks to all of you folk! A Dog, those wheels traveled right by you... twice.

MorganM Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Pug alloys; those are sweetness. You coming down next weekend to the MN Subaru garage day? Maybe we could swap them on then. What size tire is on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size tire is on them? 195/60/R15s, they fit on an unlifted subie without cutting, but are still significantly bigger than what's on there now. as for the garage day, I'm not sure yet, I want to, but even if I do, it looks like I'll be taking a greyhound down. in which case, probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 aahheeemmm!they were in my garage when pat picked them up.....and i even packed your lugnuts in an acid box, i thought it was cool enough, but i guess not:drunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 oh my dear lord those are beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 nice wheels! you have great taste. I hope you enjoy them! uh, yeah, so I forgot to send the paint with them, but it's Duplicolor dark charcoal - T271 with some clearcoat over them. There are a few layers of older paint underneath that I inherited when I got them from Andrew a few years ago. And if you think they look good there, they'll look even better when washed and with the curb rubbing repainted... I'd also like to thank all of you who were involved in helping me sell and transport them. Especially Pat! I'll miss seeing them on my car, but eventually I hope to get some "revolver" turbo legacy wheels in a similar color since I'm adding a lug to each corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Well, FINALLY my subie and my wheels were in the same town together, so on they went! (I live in Duluth for college, cars live at my parents in the Twin Cities, wheels were up here with me...) And D@MN are they HOT!!! I love black on black...ish. And I finally got some carriage bolts and wing nuts to attach the fairing for my roof rack, now just some tabs for the lights, lift, unibody swap......oh man..... Anybody know if you can powdercoat these centercaps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I saw some pug caps at moosens the other wknd. and if memory serves me they are plastic. If that is the case....then a big he%% no because they will never survive the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 hey andrew. i still have the exhaust on my car. sounded great with an EA82T and open downpipe, now I get to see how it sounds with an EJ22. soon. funny how parts get passed around here isn't it! Chux, you NEED to wash that car! when it's dirty, and with those wheels, it looks too much like mine did! enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yes, they are plastic, but they're some pretty heavy duty stuff, not your everyday, thin, flimsey crap. but I don't know how hot they cook 'em to do the powdercoating...

I sanded and filled in the lion with bondo on my old set of 15" pugs, then painted them to match my Brat. Archemitis has 'em now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
