If you are going the replica route I would rather go with these.

Those are damn nice, but only come in Silver I think?? I don't know what color I'd prefer though, I like black the most I think.

Its the same replica I would just rather go with Varrstoen > XXR

There is also Linea Corse Lemans (I ran these on my black WRX).
Honestly, I have XXR's on my IS, they're fine.
I do agree that Varrstoen's are a little bit higher quality, or just have a better reputation.

Do you guys know if XXR or Varrstoen is at any shops in town ??

jellynuts · « **Reply #105 on:** November 02, 2015, 04:28:43 pm »

Mmm, good taste. I haven't seen LM's (or replicas) on the new WRX's yet. Ever since seeing Chase's Linea Corse, they've been my dream wheels.

What wheel did you have Chase? I really like that polished outer lip with the inside being darker..

CMyles Wanna-Be STi Build: Sold = (

Hmm, Chase, I wish you took more pictures of those wheels.

Anyway, like he said, XXR's are fine. But if you want to do a lot of work, you could unbolt the wheel apart, and have the spokes powdercoated/painted to your choice colour.

kijho · « **Reply #108 on:** November 02, 2015, 05:43:48 pm »

That is the style I think I want for the '16. I feel like it goes with the cleaner more "luxury" look of the car (if that makes any sense at all lol).

Heru Farukon · « **Reply #109 on:** November 02, 2015, 10:59:25 pm »

I had chases old wheels off his wrx lol.

Imo I would run Linea corse or varrestoen for reps.

You can't take those wheels apart. The bolts are fake lol

Ha, nuts. No reverse mounting then, eh? Ah that's too bad. Oh well, they still look nice.

Timmies drive thru!! I try to limit my spending on coffee's each week so I usually just keep $10 a week in change that way I don't over spend and end up getting full breakfast there .. I know I only have $10 in change so, only a coffee

I just don't like to keep it in the middle console sometimes, people out there will smash a window literally for a couple bucks.. (Someone I saw on FB last week had their window smashed. Thief got like $5 in change but didn't notice the 9500ix on the windshield and left that.......)

Love these Enkei's.... This was an hour before that snow storm rolled in yesterday late afternoon!! Hard to believe for most, but not hard to believe for us Calgarians!

10secdream · « **Reply #118 on:** November 06, 2015, 02:50:50 pm »

I predict a large supply of factory 2015+ WRX wheels on the market.

18's look so much better too.

I think I'm gonna just end up giving the stock '16 wheels to the GF for her to put her winter tires on for her Subi. I'll keep my summer tires though and mount then over to a new setup in the spring.
Her stock summer wheels look actually really awesome.. ('15 Impreza hatch sport limited, super nice).

10secdream · « **Reply #120 on:** November 06, 2015, 02:57:48 pm »

Are you planning to stick with 17's then?

The Enkei's are 18x8.5, and hopefully I can fit this same spec with new wheels. I think 18 is a nice size, not too sure about how tires will fit on anything larger or wider without stretching etc.

Edit: Or do you mean the stock summer tires on the '16 will not fit 18x8.5? $:-\$

Correct, your oem wheels are 17" in diameter, so ofc you will have to lose those tires if you are going to go with an 18" wheel setup next summer...

The bolt pattern on your oem wrx wheels is 5x114.3, and your gf's 2015 impreza is 5x100, so that wont work either.
