June 15, 200520 yr hey you guys this is for the people who have done the five lug conversion. but have any of you ever consider wheels with spinners? i have actually and have thought of putting them on my suby (i know i know roll the fenders first) since they are available in 18" size i would assume they would fit (of course with the proper mods). let me know your thoughts!
June 15, 200520 yr I think if you do it.... ...you better not come back. -Brian P.S. Only kidding. P.S.S. wait, no im not
June 15, 200520 yr if you do it, dont take it into public, ot take pics, or admit it. i wouldnt. spinners are the biggest waste of money, time and material ever, that and they have no place on any car. they barely look good on suv's.
June 15, 200520 yr Is it D/R 4WD?? If so don't do it. There are much better things to do to a Subaru. If it is just a S/R 4WD then it would almost be ok. But why not just do some engine work with the money you would put torwards spinners. Its Subaru not an Escalade. Hook it up rally style and take it off road all the time. Woo hoo!!!!! :headbang:
June 15, 200520 yr spinners are the biggest waste of money, time and material ever that and they have no place on any car. they barely look good on suv's. My sentiments ALMOST exactly ... I think they are hideous on SUV's ALSO.
June 15, 200520 yr I saw a set of spinning iron crosses on a Dodge Caravan the other day. I almost took pictures, but the minivan's owner and his kids were right there. Anyway, spinning rims are silly on any car, but on an older Subaru, they look completely out of place. Maybe less so on a WRX, but that car has actual performance and doesn't benefit from showy hubcaps interfering with airflow across its brakes.
June 15, 200520 yr What is it Brad? Waiting till he does it so you know you can too!! You should beat him to it Brad, then you'll be teh coolest with the spinning of the rims and whatnot. And... i dont think you can do it. 18" rims would be too big, but you could always get some tires like 225/10R18 or something -Brian
June 15, 200520 yr Author heeheeehee i was just kidding . i just wanted to see if you guys would actually do it. no way on earth am i gonna spend $$$$ on something that could be stolen just like that. i know it would look horrible on a suby. but i still can't believe it. now rally! now thats what i'm talking about. i'm gonna trick it out and do this with it: . i mean it though. i just wanna smoke all the people who have laughed at me and my suby.
June 15, 200520 yr Author I think if you do it.... ...you better not come back. -Brian P.S. Only kidding. P.S.S. wait, no im not hey i live in stockton and i could go up to sacramento to get you for this! (nah just kidding man, why would i get you for it ).
June 15, 200520 yr You should come up here and... "get me". I will have the Sacramento subie crowd here... ready to laugh at your spinners too. Naw, but honestly... you arent far. Me and the guys are planning a bay area meet. We'll keep you informed. -Brian
June 15, 200520 yr Author If your going to put Spinners on a Suby.... Manteca is the place to do it -Brian oops i forgot i still live in manteca. the family is moving to stockton in like 2 weeks. thats why i said stockton and for suby parts dont come to manteca and no im not giving parts

Me and the guys are planning a bay area meet. We'll keep you informed. -Brian aww cool but i got two problems. big oil leak, and its not road worthy cuz of it. but yeah keep me informed! PMs always welcome!
June 15, 200520 yr Author hahahah what a perfect time to link *this* hmmm....not bad looking but he/she has alot of limitations with that. i really agree with Brian though.
June 15, 200520 yr Had I gone 6 lug instead of 4 lug I bet I could fit some 20" spinners on my camo green lifted brat No I would NEVER do that.... may be good for a laugh though if I had a friend with a set just to install em and take afew pictures.

June 15, 200520 yr Just having it dance because if I had bad taste I COULD fit them on if I wanted to... they wouldnt fit on most stock subes because the wheel wells are too small. Oh, and I love using smileys too

Oh, and I love using smileys too well i can see that you love smilies also. and thats good that you have good taste.
June 15, 200520 yr hey, you can get 13 inch and up spinners over here, if you guys can only get them in 18 inch count yourselves lucky. I have seen far too many early 80s toyota starlets and datsuns with ridiculous spinners on their factory wheels. Disgraceful. I was thinking about putting a set on my boat trailer though.....
June 15, 200520 yr You can get the spinning hubcaps in 13" but we're talking about chromed rims, the real deal. -Brian
