If you compare your RE 30 rim with the TE 37 rim I selected, you will see that in the TE series there are only five holes at 114.3 centres for bolting the wheels to the hub.

In the case of the RE rim it has 10 holes. 5 of them are at 114.3 centres, and I would guess that the other 5 are possibly at 5 x 100 or some other fitment.

The RE 30 wheel looks absolutely beautiful, but I would not use it because it is dual fitment.

Snobby, like it told you.

Joe

I fully agree. Only 5 hole wheels for a beautiful car.

The picture I have with my SVX uses the dual bolt pattern, though it looks fine I agree with you I like just one fitting bolt pattern, I have another set of wheels on another car that would fit and look very good I think.

I'm pleased [but not surprised] you do Lee.

There is probably a fine line between being snobbish and being particular here. I do think though that anyone who regards the SVX as best of breed will not be happy putting less than ideal aftermarket kit on it.

Subaru did not stinge on equipment for it even though they lost money on every one they sold. So why should we?

One man asked me to try on various wheels to SVX. I hope that pictures was received him in the private message.

And I think He will not against to show result here. As I did not use the photos of his car in these pictures.

All of them are sweet looking man. The rims in the first picture need to be a little bigger (diameter similar to the other two) and in silver not gold.

Guys, aside from the 10 holes look, what do you think about that rim? It is somehow weird in its design, agressive and appealing...

It is around 19~20lbs for 18x8.5.

92 SVX · #**234** 02-23-2010, 08:35 PM

I agree, its appealing in a way.

92 SVX · #**235** 02-23-2010, 08:38 PM

Here is another I like, very light weight 17pounds it has a lip its 48 offset 18x7.5

That is a nice option also, I have photoshopped it on the SVX, or at least something close to it... but the one I chose above has someting retro with a contemporary twist forming in my opinion, a "Turbo" upgrade to the SVX's 90's era.

Danny, I know exactly what wheels you are talking about,
I have a couple of sets, one set refinished and on the way now from PHENIX WHEELS

This is post 1000, not that many compared to some, I never thought that I would have that much to say

Hmmm.... I was expecting your precious feedback Joe

, oh well...

Do you mean on the wheels Danny?

I don't mean to sound like a cracked record, but I've already noted that I shy away from wheels that have double fitment because they look aftermarket.

That said, these wheels shown on the Impreza look very impressive. I like them. It looks like from the factory they filled up the second set of holes. They are very attractive rims.
