Emjayex Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hey everyone! I was wanting to pick up a set of wheels for my 98 Legacy Outback. Im seeing thats I dont have too many affordable options I like the design of (less than $800). Trying not to spend more than what I bought the car for. I noticed Rota has a lot of options (yes reps too, Im ok with that). Does anyone currently run Rotas? If so do you have specs, pics, and opinions on em? And also, if I were to get them, where would I buy them from? Im in the US btw. Im not doing any hard driving, just a little spirited driving here and there and just want a set that looks good and that can handle some accidentally hit potholes Thanks in advance!

Scubaboo Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I am on Rota's, 18x8 Gravels with 225/45 tires on my 5th gen Legacy. I got them to clear STI Brembos I put on around 2018, the Gravels were well documented to clear those brakes. Cheap too. I still have them on today, no bends yet but the powdercoat came off in chunks for some reason a few years ago so had them repainted. IMO at stock Subaru tire sizes and tire pressures (not low on air) Rotas should hold their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubaboo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I did put on hub rings as my Legacy uses a 55 diameter center bore, I think all Subarus do but not sure on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Oh and something like the equivalent of $500 used, I could probably get them cheaper but I didnt bother looking and was in a hurry. They were only a few weeks old when I got them FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want to overpay whenever I find a nice set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
