Love the wheels. Really suit the colour I think First mod i'd do are centre caps for the wheels.

Out of interest. What year is this? I thought deep blue mica was a 99/00 only colour but the front grill is from a 98

Thanks LewisScoob. I was actually considering to sell for a White RA. Its what i really want. Centre caps for the wheels are on the agenda, I think the standard Rota ones will fit. This is a 2000 classic. However, yes in regards to the grill, it has been taken from an earlier version, luckily enough matched the colour so well i didnt need to get it sprayed. Bazaar but there you go. ha. the color of this is 95H.

Thanks Bud. Details are:
Rota Formula Mesh
5x100

18x8
ET 48
215/35/18


Also, thank you all for the comments above. I now have Tein S Tech lowering springs on order. once on the car, i will provide updated shots.
p.s. A white classic on gold formula mesh would be just be heaven for me.

I think these wheels are now discontinued from Rota. but may be available from wheel dude in the U.S.

Thanks Jaygsi, Nope, i didn't buy this like this, it had crystal clear lights everywhere, i change it all, i always preferred the early look of the subaru's. Can you re call whos Subaru you saw that had a similar look? Woul be interesting to see what they had done to...

I think after installing the lowering springs, il park this car in storage as its only done 65k from new and move on to either a RA, GF8 or Forester.

I love white wheels, but gold goes best well with the blue. That blue is in my opinion better looking than transit van white, keep it blue and gold, its a lovely looking car you have.

But the hunt for a transit van Subaru is still on.

haha, i dont think it will hang around long either. Lets put it this way, i have been offered around 8.5 at the moment. so i reckon i can push this a little higher as im sure there is someone who will be after it quite desperately.
