iNeoTom Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi Guys can anyone tell me what wheels these are please? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 They will be specially made OZ wheels, you can't buy them mores the shame. But you can get close with something like the allegerita HLT or super Tourismo and superforgiata not cheap though. Also there's the Rota range. Or if you've got really big bucks the Volk range. Pretty sure everyone will chip in with their 2 pence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd agree with Pete if you can buy them it would cost as much as your car is worth I'd say at a guess but the ones I have look similar and for the same reason is why I have them apart from they came with the car :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNeoTom Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks guys i have found them i think I found them over at http://subaruwrcspares.com/ i think these are the right can you guys confirm please? Looking at the fitting issues he outlines at the bottom of the page i will need some 30mm spacers because of the tiny offset and the small centre bore Will this work? There only £175 each from him so might be worth a play and there already 5x100 :D Thanks for looking Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Do look the same I did think about the WRC suppliers but honestly didn't think you would be able to get them :) and at £175 I'd say it's worth the pop. I'd say with the size he knows best :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 1200 a quid roughly with tyres if you allowed for a decent tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 They are OZ ones you can see the labelling in this photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Also with them being magniusm wheels, getting any curbing fixed is going to cost more than you paid for the wheel, just be carefull and park 6" away from any curb :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I dont want to be the damp squib here but I would only buy them for the track or offroad use. Magnesium alloy whilst being very light and strong does have a shelf life of x amount of hours - they are not designed for longevity and a lot of race teams return them for recycling to ensure they do not end up on the public highway. I dont know where you would stand if one failed on the road and you trashed your car. I would go with Petes recommendation they only have one spoke less and will last a lot longer, particularly on British roads or try and source some older ones like Gambit has that may need a refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh allright I'll post another pic of the new wheels :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Also found these Sparco ASSETTO GARA quite close to the OZ wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The same wheels that are on Gambits ride have come up on eBay over last couple of years as sets of four just needing refurb / repair but have gone for little money (comparatively) so it might be worth being a little patient and saving money in the long run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 just found these which look a lot like the original picture, not sure they will fit yours though ?? - now not convinced the ones in the first pic are OZ they look like the spokes have a groove in them and are flatter than the OZ spokes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Enkei-Gold-alloy-wheels/141194812049?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D4928880867881226468%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D251452266252%26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mine are genuine UK300 Prodrive alloys bit harder to come by. I've just had a look I did see someone selling one on it's own awhile back but it's gone fully refurbished looked as good as new was after £285 Buy it now, I'd say getting non refurbished ones would be cheaper if you can find them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other wheels I can think of are the BBS fitted to the early impreza's and 22b, please correct me if wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I know Sparco was used but not sure when they used it. found this OZ the company produces alloy wheels for motorsports, aftermarket and OEM ... OZ also produces wheels for Sparco in partnership with their compatriots. ... In 1990 the company were wheel suppliers to the Toyota rally team as Carlos ... the Subaru World Rally Team as Richard Burns won the driver's championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
