I came across these at the last Reading 8 meet. What do you think of these as an alternative to our stock alloys?

They are from a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Directional alloy wheel, 17"x 8" , with a +48mm offset and 114.3mm bolt circle.

A little more substantial than the Enkei Shoguns and not as massive as the RX-8 wheels. I like the rather unique twist to the spokes. I haven't checked prices.

It can either be filled, as I did with my center caps, or the aluminum SUBARU center cap from the Outback/Legacy wheels is the same size for replacement.

eeeh....no. The spokes are too square, even if they have a weird twist

John - Being square, I like them. That is the first thing I thought of - they look a little like Shogans. :) I do like them because they are more open than the stock ones. ;) :)

Here is a larger photo. They are 17" 114.3 bolt pattern, +48mm offset and the Subaru logo center cap fits in the center and matches perfectly (although I could fill the stock ones and add the SVX decal).

I like them a lot John. My preference is for 10 spoke wheels, but these are modern and open.

Are they heavier than our standard wheels? I'm not a fan of putting on heavier rims for style reasons.
