Flo4Legacy Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Today new wheels where bolted on my Legacy. The are also checked by "TÜV" and approved (which can get a real annoying :x) Size is 7,5x18 - Azev Type "U" with 48 mm offset wrapped with Dunlop Sportmaxx 225/40R18 The wheels are available with offsets from 30 - 50 mm and the company just delivers according your needs - that is very good for us Subaru owners. Azev is very flexible in this matter and I didn't find a comparable wheel producer. So, now I have to see what can be done against the wheel gap ... The ride comfort changed not very much, it is not really harsh. Did not have enough time to test the perfomance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Those look absolutely stunning. You have one nice looking ride. I wonder if we can get those here in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Loos nice- no roof rails? Did you remove them or is that how they come where you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo4Legacy Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 [quote name='jedimaster']Loos nice- no roof rails? Did you remove them or is that how they come where you are?[/quote] Yes, that is standard with the Legacy Wagon. But there are still roof rails - the silver thing on top of the roof. The only don't stand up that high. Something like secret roof rails 8) Till now I didn't notice that the US Legacy also gets the normal roof rails as the Outback (the Outback has the "higher" roof rails, too). The differences between US and JDM/European models are very interesting, sometimes also very strange. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went to the website of AZEV and they listed also an US Dealer: [url]http://www.cecwheels.com/tuners/tuners.sd?iid=5[/url] The AZEV website in English: [url]http://www.azev.de/index_eng.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The USDM Legacy roof rails sit lower than the OB ones, but are still noticeable. I may have them removed or painted sometime down the road, we'll just have to see though. I'm content with them for now at least. Those wheels do look pretty nice. I generally like a bit more spoke personally, but overall pretty tasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I gotta say, I like the stock 17" Legacy GT wheels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyb-spec Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Does anyone have a pic with the SSR type-C rims on the GT? I have them on my accord, and they are excellent! One of the lighter rims on the market, reasonable price, and durable... Rim weight makes a BIG difference on your performance. If the GT had lighter rims with good rubber, it would of blew away the competitors in the C&D review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyb-spec Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Ok, that's way too cool. The type-c looks good on the car! How does the GT feel at autox? Not so sure how much the stock rims weigh in at, but were there any notable difference in performance with the type-c on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flo4Legacy Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Thanks for the praise! :) The window tint was already working up my mind. But I am still not sure if I should get it, because we are not allowed to tint to front side windows and the windshield. Sooo I am not sure if I would like the look.
