Default 17 inch Alloys - but not subaru...

I have been on the look out for a set of 17's for the car for a while but I am after something different and got to thinking what other OEM wheels would fit a Subaru and wondered if anyone has actually gone down that route?


I appreciate that the there will be differences on ET, but suspect that there are some wheels that would fit straight onto my Blob WRX..


So has anyone gone down this route? has anyone else looked into doing something like this?

Being a wrx you wont have the problem clearing brembo's so I would have thought something like say a vw wheel with the 5 x 100 pcd would fit ok.

Rover 75 also has 5x100 pcd, so maybe some bmw 5 series might fit too.

The center bore will be different (smaller) if bigger then better as you just get a spigot ring to fit.
