£350 for an alloy wheel!!!!!

Featured Replies

Hi all, I am looking to get a full size spare for my 2011 outback and after giving up trying to find an alloy from a breaker, decided to get a price for a new one. Was told £350, just for one!! I believe the specs for the 2011 outback are 17x7j et48 offset with 100x5 pcd. Does anyone now if this is correct?, and was the spec of the 2009 17 inch wheels the same as there seem to be a few of them about? The dealer also tried to sell me the "recommended" spacesaver which had a smaller rolling circumference, which I thought was a no no with all wheel drive? Any thoughts or advice welcome. Cheers, Paul


Hi mate, may be worth looking on ebay, have a search for impartsb46 have loads of dead stock at silly low prices

Thanks David, I'm not bothered about the match, just the fitment. I don't want to buy anything until I can confirm the specs.


All outback alloys since 04 are the same as yours mate...17s anyway [emoji106]

Just had a msg from eBay seller that says offset on that wheel is et 55, so they are different?

It must be off a legacy, rather than an outback in that case

I got loads spare 17s

Do you need to talk to someone ? If your confused about your sexuality you don't need to be afraid we're all friends here

Fnaar fnaar. Confused as in being told yes they will fit and no they won't, can't seem to get a definitive answer either way.

Any 5x100 wheel should fit mate

have a look at the offset on your wheels now, if they are et48 the et55 offset will stick out 7mm further and may catch on the wheel arch


Forester, outback or brz wheels should all fit. Just keep asking the sellers for confirmation the offset matches your requirements [emoji106]
