Magic Marker Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Are those stock Subaru wheels? Those look like USDM Forester rims. I don't believe hmmrdwn is from the US> 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schwinghammer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 So, it appears that the Graphite Grey is the most popular color (on this forum at least) based on the amount of responses on this thread vs. the other colors. Graphite Grey lovers....why do I dislike my color so much? ....not saying I dislike it as much as I would Sky Blue or Whatsit Brown....but I digress.... It just seems so <- yeah, like that guy...hanging out....drinkin' some coffee....not much to do....not very exciting. What I would LOVE, is to see a Gen 5 in Rally Blue like this...except in person....and with a USDM front end.... http://www.zercustoms.com/news/images/Subaru/Subaru-Legacy-STI-25.jpg well - i've officially run out of superfluous periods. Wait, i guess i had one left; I'll have to resort to using exclamation points! K BAI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmrdwn Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Thought so. I wonder if thats how they come by him You guys have a keen eye. Couldn't stomach the steel wheels with caps and had the dealer pop those on before leaving the dealership. Not excited about the style, but good for the time being. They look good rolling. The Forester folks probably think the wheels they look funny. What's your opinion? As far as the color, ours looks charcoal in the day and almost steel blue at night. I think graphite grey is one of the best colors these cars come in. Edited August 20, 2011 by hmmrdwn mo info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look WAY better than steelies with hubcaps. Did they throw them on free of charge? My stepfather has a 2.5i Limited in GGM. That would have been my second choice. He bought it a week after I got mine without telling me. Oh, and my mom got a SSM Outback the same day, also without telling me. I pulled up to their house and said, "weird, why are there two brand new Subies sitting in their driveway?". Turns out they liked my car so much they went out and bought them too. Sorry, got a little carried away . I ended up with SSM because that was the only 6-speed 2.5i Premium around, and it worked out because I happened to like SSM the best. If there was only a GGM in manual, I would have bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmmrdwn Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Once people see how practical these cars are, they tend to look into them a little more. The neighbor has a BMW X5 and it doesn't have enough room and is expesive to repair. The resale value is good, but he wants a Subaru. Subaru's are safe, have a great AWD system and highest resale in the industry. The gas mileage is great for an AWD system too. He is a big guy and interior room is important.

RailKill Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks. They didn't throw them in for free, but it was a fair deal. The neighbor is looking at an outback now. I talked to my dealer today and asked him if they would take my Premium wheels off when my car gets in and put on my LGT wheels. He said that after I take delivery of the car, they would do it. Then I asked if they would buy my Premium wheels from me, for a case such as yours where someone buys a base and wants alloys. He told me nobody ever buys a base and puts on alloys...........Really?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even said he could add $600 to the price of the car for a set of alloys and my sales'er said that they would love to do that but that's a Part's issue and isn't something they can add into the cost of a car.

Dealer did it for me and included it in the deal. Got the rims, dismounted tires, mounted tires back on rims and balanced. I didn't get the old steels though. The rim price was better than any on line and wasn't charged for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5thgen2.5i Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looks good dude how did you do the window trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoullessCorpse Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The wheels, grille, and trim were all sprayed with an adhesion promoter from House Of Kolor and I used a flat black from Valspar. Just masked it off to do the trim, but I'm going to pull it off and do it over. There are a few spots like under the mirror where I didn't mask it off good enough and you can see a slight hair of chrome still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReGiS Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 yesterday i blacked out the grill, trim, and put in new lights from IDRVSLO. Also painted the stockers black(put a little effect on them for good measures) . http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/Derek1111111/MyLeGGy33.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
