Molal24 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 How would this look? I was thinking of buying a new set of stock tires that I can use in the summer, and then dedicating my current set for winter tires. I happened to come across a set of Legacy rims from a 2008 Legacy Spec B. I know these are 18" but I know they'd fit. I just don't know about the color. What you guys think? The Spec B's have the rims with the carbon color to them. Would they look nice to run all summer on a Garnet Red Pearl LGT? Here's the car and an 06 Spec B wheel and an 08 Spec B wheel. Which would look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Pics could help - just place rim & car together and post a pic, that may help. Then it's another question if it can be considered rice or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Having 2 sets of wheels is a great idea. Much more convenient and much easier on the actual tires. As for the 08 SpecB wheels .... they are OK. Personally I think the 06-07 SpecB wheels are much nicer. That's just my personal opinion mind you. If I was buying a new set of wheels I wouldn't buy stock ones. There is much nicer out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 GRP needs the bling. I vote the 08 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siper2 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Me too, I really like the '08 .B wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molal24 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 You think that darker color would look nice on the red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siper2 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I do. But I personally like the spoke design better than the previous spec.B wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray1967 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I like the 06 specB wheel much better than the 08. Just my opinion though. Do what makes you happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I think whatever you choose would be an improvement. The polished look of the 08's on the GRP would accent it nicely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Don't buy more stockers fro the summer get real tires dedicated to summer. I like th 06's better but the 08's should look nice. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatV8 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Forget the beauty rings, just go with polished dog dishes! Seriously, I would go with the 06 Spec B wheels, the 08 spokes are too fat, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 06-07 specB wheels are much nicer then the 08-09 specB wheels IMO too.. To be completely honest, I'd get 06-07 WRX wheels before the 08-09 specB's..

Gire Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The 06 Spec wheels are awesome, likely my favorite OEM Subaru wheel ever. But they aren't light and aren't wide. But if want an 18" upgrade, it's a great choice. They are a shiny silver too, brighter than the stock 5 spokers. If you can buy the 06 wheels with the stock summer tires on them for a good price, then you'll have a nice summer set up. The Spec B tires are great.
