can you add a " ] " to the end of that? either that or I cannot see another pictures posted. But as far as black rims go, i like a lot of the rota wheel choices out there. I am currently using 5zigen FNO1r-C wheels on mine with 235/45/r17 Falken Azenis tires and love them, my only complaint is that the way the spokes go back towards the hub before touching the lip, so it makes them appear smaller than they are, but they are well served as race rims.

How bout some Volk TE37's????? they are only 740 bucks per rim w/o tires ;)

Thanks for your help guys those volk rims are so sexyy but so freaking expensive, I'm only 17 so im looking for some in the 500-1000$ range which I know isn't that much. What do you guys think about the agency power strideseven rims? Only $200 a peice.

hey guys so I decided I would paint my old stock rims and see how they look on the car while I save up to get some new ones. I havn't gotten them on the car yet but I think I'll get it done tomorrow.
Here they are

try to stick with near-stock offset. That will help your handling as well as your fitment. The stock offset is +55. I suspect that the rims you are looking at were not designed for a Subaru or other high offset car. In other words, I'd recommend you care more about the specs than the looks/logos.

Thanks! I tried to get some better pictures, the rims a little dirty. I definitely like them a lot better than the golds, I wanted to get a red lip but that would have been difficult on these rims.

no sorry :/ I only had them on for a day, they didn't look bad at all I just decided I liked the 5 spoke look a little better. I think this is a picture of shoefan's car with the stocks painted a flat black
