They are 6000k, it matches pretty well but I think 5000k or 5500k would match even better because in person mine have a hint of blue in them and the C-LED is more of a warm white

Quick question guys. Do the tpms on the stock 17'' 2016 legacy fit the 18'' 2016 wrx premium rims?

 

They will fit, the WRX uses the exact same sensors.

 

See the compatibility list here if you want to confirm for yourself http://www.worldoemparts.com/worldfiatparts/oe-subaru/28103aj00a?origin=pla&gclid=CKSXsqiAu84CFZA2aQod4JYHBw

Hi, Andrew. Appreciate the help. I went on to put the wheels and new tires yesterday. Wish I bought the 245/45 tires instead of 245/40. I can feel the difference in speed going down the hill without hitting the gas. Overall, loving the new setup!

Yes should have checked the first post - the 245/40 is actually WRX spec as they run a smaller wheel/tyre size.

 

Correct size for the Legacy is 245/45 and then your speedo will be closer to "standard".

 

But nice looking set-up none the less :)

Any opinions on these wheels on a black legacy??

 

They both look good. Check Google Images for those two Moda models for real photos on cars. It'll give you a better idea of the actual color.

I did, yes. The dealership advertised them on CL for $500, I offered $400 as I bought TPMS and Tires from them (but didn't have to). Again new wheels, but without TPMS or tires was $400. Pics of my old ride are in the 6th Gen Legacy, Lapis Blue picture thread on the main page.

That is an awesome deal! I would do that right now haha. I just emailed a bunch of dealers in the area so I'll see what happens!

I'd have to say that getting a set of (near) new WRX wheels would be way better than any cheap set off Tire rack. Unless you're putting on a quality aftermarket/brand wheel like Rays/Enkei/Work/SSR/etc then I'd be sticking to an OEM (WRX) wheel.

 

If you're not in a major hurry then keep your eyes out for second hand sets. WRX owners are renowned for changing wheels so you can often pick up a near new set cheap.

So I did a quick search on the app "Let Go" and saw these babies. Bought them today for $350 for the set! Only 7500 miles on them! Thanks for the advice guys! Also, it seems the consensus is to go with 245/45/18 tires on these, right?

Sounds too good to be true! I've always been a fan of other model OEM wheels. I'm holding out for some 2011 STi wheels
