TTG Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) They look great. How much did they set you back and how is the ride comfort? Also any fitment / rubbing issues? Edited February 8, 2016 by TTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieGT Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I want to do 19's SO bad but I know I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to drop the car 1-2 inches.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayslay21 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 They look great. How much did they set you back and how is the ride comfort? Also any fitment / rubbing issues? Thanks man $1700 for the rims, tires and tpms. No rubbing so far and it rides pretty good actually. Wheel weight really makes a difference in ride quality I think because they ride much better than my last set which were on the heavy side, about 60lbs each wheel compared to these which are about 49lbs each. Stock is 47lbs a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's next on the list also bcuz that front wheel gap is gonna drive me crazy, with these I'd definitely have to roll the rear fender before I go lower.

accohn12 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 kayslay21 - very nice choice for your wheels, they look great on the car...but yeah, a nice modest drop would really look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieN8 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I went to Sears for a Torque Wrench, since I'll be rotating the tires on both cars for the life of them. They have two sizes. What size should I get? I guess I could use Google and figure it out, but this is more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) What size should I get? For wheel lugs (89 ft-lb on your Subaru) you'll want a 1/2-inch drive torque wrench with a full-scale range of 120 to 150 ft-lb. FWIW, Harbor Freight sells torque wrenches suitable for this kind of light duty for less than $20.

Subie-Do Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So just curious if anyone might have info on the manufacturer of this set of wheels might be? I have searched all over the Internet for some info on these, but have had no luck Thought I might reach out to you guys to see if these strike a chord with anyone? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160210/bd06607a90b001db31bee8612893a859.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger73 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 So just curious if anyone might have info on the manufacturer of this set of wheels might be? These were on a dealer advertised car some while back. If you could find the original photo you may be able to contact the dealer. They look like 19's.

evo171 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Could it be replica of Vossen CV4 (http://www.vossenwheels.com/wheels/cv4)? Looks similiar but CV4 only comes in 20" & 22". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those CV4's do look pretty close. I found these searching for CV4 Replicas. Looks pretty close with a similar finish and slightly raised center cap, but know nothing about them. I believe I found the original picture from Mike Miller Subaru in Utah website. I'll try to reach out to them. Fingers crossed that someone in Utah that is the lucky owner of this fine setup is possibly a member and stumbles across this thread and can provide the details on his or her wheels.

ColoradoRod Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm completely bummed about my wheel situation. In late December I received a new set of Hankook tires from Tire Rack. I took them to the local Firestone shop as they are a Tire Rack approved installer. They ended up scratching every one of my wheels. They agreed to pay the cost of refurbishing my wheels at a place of my choosing. I called the local Subaru dealer and they suggested Spec Wheels over in Denver. I delivered the wheels over to Denver and picked them up a week later. The finish on the wheels looks nice, but they didn't mask off the center hole where the cap goes so now my center caps don't fit properly. They (Spec) claims there's nothing they can do. As far as I'm concerned they look like dung. I'm headed over there this morning to argue about it. I want them fixed or I want my money back. I'm pretty sure I'm now in the market for a new set of OEM 18" Limited wheels. If any of you guys have take offs you want to get rid of, let me know.
