I am weekly checking for "4x140" wheels in search engines. I found this cardomain members in hungary. The owner claimed they bolt right up. The offset lopks good too. anyone know manufacture? I guessed it to be the company that makes saab wheels, and doesn't advertise the 4x140 pattern, but I am not sure.

i _think_ those are enkei aftermarket rims made for peugeots.... do a search on peugeot +enkei on the forum here, there was a thread recently that had rims that looked like that but were gold.

they're listed, and even pictured on the wheels page:

 

I've never heard of them, though, and certainly never seen them.

 

 

wheels page:

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/wheels2/wheels.html

well i'll be damned.... that page has everything!

well i'll be damned.... that page has everything!

 

my sentiments exactly.

 

I actually happened across the forum doing a web search, and only discovered the vastness of the rest of the site a month or so ago...

 

anyone else who hasnt explored yet, do so. it will change your life. again.

 

oh yah, GLturbo: those wheels on ebay arent the right bolt pattern.

just noticed that post. that's what I thought at first too, however, the enkei wirewheels didn't have centercaps. the lug nuts were visible.

 

This may be worth adding to wheels page. It is like the rw listed but silver and 15 inch. some side views show it as quite wide for the little sube as well. I am guessing 7-8 inch. I like the offset. I just emailed the superlites people in australia, curious about thier 15 inch. I have been denied even a quote by one foriegn place already. If they don't know how to submit thier business to keep from going WWW, I wish they wouldn't. It is teasing the hell out of me.

I saved the pic off for the wheels page....

 

I owned the gold 14" RW's for a while. they now belong to a local guy here who wheels with them. love's 'em better than the pug steels for their lack of mud retention....

I would really like some alloys. I found a set today with flat tires (not good for wheels with weight of sitting on the car.) There is something quite stubborn about steel, for as long as they last, when they get injured it is quite difficult. Even my dads tractor trailers lately have all aloy, tractor and trailer. A million mile capable machine with alloys must have decent reasoning. I would even stick to the 13's to get rid of the steels.

One thought I'd like to offer: They look like clones of the BBS "basketweave" wheels that came stock on my '91 BMW 325iX. Sure, they look sharp. Sure, they're 15" across. But did you also know that they are a great large pain in the boo-tocks as soon as it snows? What happens is that snow packs in all the little spaces; this is fine up to about 20 MPH. After that, you will find that you have succeeded in rebalancing your wheels. If you've only got a mile or two to drive, some of you might be willing to live with it for the bling-bling of it all. I wouldn't.

That is a good point. Thought of pressing the brakes for an instant 500 degrees for a few seconds?
