Question

I'm looking at a set of 17" wheels for my new baby.

I've found an excellent looking wheel made by BBS, the RX.



Has anyone seen an Impreza with these wheels, and even better does someone have a picture (of an Impreza with these wheels) ?

Any experiences of quality, performance etc ?

Thanks,

Andrew

Andrew,

My wife's got BBS RX on her MK4 Golf Turbo, they look great on that, but I'm not too sure on a Scoob....I may try them on the P1, if I can get them over the 6 pots

Isn't this wheel very similar to the 22B
Electra-L wheel but in silver?! The nuts
don't look as recessed!

Mike,

Yes they are very similar to the 22B wheels

Dave,

Apparently they do a set to fit a scoob, but I can't confirm it as the distributor won't answer my emails

Andrew.

What makes the 22B alloy so different from
this design, or other designs that BBS do
like this, apart from it being gold with
an STi badge in the middle?! :-)

Do you have any idea on cost, and what
colours it comes in?

Mike.

I had enquired about the BBS RK's but was told by the local dealer that there is'nt
an offset high enough in the BBS range to
accomodate the impreza.

These wheels are available to fit the Impreza (50mm ET) , but are not available to the end of February

Guess it gives me more time to save ...
