GTEASER Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If you like the look of those, then why don't you go with these? http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-100&fl=&yr=2010&pc=70312&counter=1&wd=18&rw=8&vid=018196 This would be a much lighter wheel than the OEM specB one.

RuskiTrombone Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks that was my concern as well, thus the reason to see if anyone had any pictures. Figured I would ask as I found a nice deal and I do like the look of these wheels...guess I will keep looking. Buy my 19" Volks. You won't be sorry, I guarantee it!

Ellesedil Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Too bad the wheels themselves will still be more narrow than you can actually fit on there. They might make for some nice winter wheels, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therover Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Anyone have any pictures of a 5th Gen Legacy with Spec B wheels? I got a nice lead on a set of 2007 Spec B wheels 18x7 et 55, just not sure how they would look. Hi Picky1, Check out my shots with the Spec B wheels. Everyone is right here, I wish I had went with a wider wheel, I just loved the look of these too much. With the offset they have they do look sunken into our massive wheel wells, but I threw on 17mm Ichiba V1 spacers, and with the Bilstein/RCE black combo I really like the look. Now let me see if I can attach these pictures correctly... Edited September 28, 2013 by therover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picky1 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks for the photo's, those look killer! I thought they would, but it seems like you do need to run the proper size spacers and of course have the right drop for it all to function together. However, I guess that could be said for any wheel combo. What size tires are you using, 215/45/18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therover Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks! I run 225/45/18, wanted a little more meat. I ran them without spacers or a drop for a long time and it just didn't look right. I was hesitant to get spacers with all the horror stories you hear, but I felt comfortable getting the V1 model and knocking out the studs to put new ones in. I have to admit though, they are only 7" wide and with the new suspension, my tires are my weakest link. I am debating getting new wheels all together at 8.5" wide to have more grip. Keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkrie hunter Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Love the Spec B style wheels. Would be killer if you could get a slightly wider size with the same style face. Maybe even with a little concave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I really don't think anyone has put those on a 5th Gen yet. I have never seen any.

NVSUBIE Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 New wheels on our 2013 limited 225/45/18 my wife picked them out its her daily driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellaGT Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 They look sooooo sssmmmmaaaaalllll. Seems like the tires are 225/40/18 for some reason. Should be at least 45 sidewall... Maybe it's the sun shinning into those wheel wells? It makes me want to go with a darker wheel color since they make the wheels look taller to me.
