singletrack Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 So the wheels did it? I like those better anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 I like those better anyhow. THats the 1st ive heard that. So far, you and me are the only ones who like it (out of all my friends ive shown so far). I like it better too. I think it gives the car a more "rally" look. I am thinking of getting some Kumho R700 rally tires for them. So far its solved 98% of the rubbing. Turning into a parkinglot still gets me a couple times. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84gl Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 i also think it looks better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I think you need to put .5"-1" spacer on the front. But it looks sweet w/ those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 they do look pretty good did you snap a couple lugs, or just ran out of lugs?i only see 3 on each wheel:grin: -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yeah really.. I got like a dozen or so spare lug nuts if you need some?? Big O tires down here keeps them in stock brand new if you want to pay for some shiny ones?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Looks hot! I like those wheels, would put them on my RX anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 ya it does give it a rally look. lookin good:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 JIbs you can have them back. Trade you your brat The lugs are special. ive never seen any like them before. The reason it looks like there is one missing on the front is because one is a locking lug and it doesnt show as well. On the rear, it is missing Im hoping after I put the RX springs in it will lift the front end alittle. I really do like the way these rims make my car look tho -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Found them on a EA81 Sedan at the local junkyard. Dont know who make them, but i can tell you they definatly do not use the stock Subaru lug nuts. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Pics of the lugnuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Dont got any pix, let me look up some online and find the type. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Kinda like these. The portion of the rim that mounts to the hub is as thick as all of my studs. these lugs go into the rim, and secure the rim to the hub. They use washers as well, and are 21mm as opposed to 19mm subaru lugs. I was also thinking of painting the rims white to match the car, but im liking the alloy. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Those are the same lugnuts that are used on the old shadow mag rims. I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I gotta say, the Pugs looked good on that car, but these look great! Gotta find the caps, so the package looks more complete. IIRC, those are the type wheels that are on that 80 or 81 wagon parked at that dealership I was telling you about (shhh... ). Very nice.

chef_tim Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'm sure glad you didn't start cutting into that thing, way to nice of a car for that!!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Very nice looking. And for heavens sake don't ever paint them to match the car. Thats the most tacky thing. Kinda like those old Geo Tracker that had the wheels the matched the soft top. YECK! just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
