Want some to fit over a 4 pot conversion I'm doing on my Forester.
I believe '98-'02 will work.
Thanks

Hi Brocku,

Steve D has some amazing Genuine SSR Comps with R888's mounted on them that you can probably have for the same price as OEM wheels. They are much nicer, and fit over 4 pots and Brembo's. Let me know if you're interested, I'm actually storing them... LOL

Those wheels are 17x8.5 +48, 5x100, 15.3lbs each. Sexy as wheels get!

The bolt holes were opened slightly to accept a Toyota style ET lug for extra thread engagement so you can run a 6mm spacer and still have OE level thread engagement.

I know you would only have sexy wheels. My Forester is supposed to be a winter safari animal and I would like to run 16" not too sexy wheels in the snow. I think I'll have to pass on these due to them being "too sexy for my car".
Thanks anyways.

For the price he's selling them for, you'll kick yourself in the spring. Use your stock OEM wheels for winter, and use the Sexy wheels for spring and summer, can't go wrong. LOL

Found a set of "El Cheapo" 16 RS for the winter. A not so sexy bronze, but a rattle can will fix that.
Thanks Joe and SteveD.
