Default Steels Wheels - Winter Tyres

What are my options for steel wheels that fit a 2002 WRX wagon?

I can get tyres easily enough but a set of steel wheels seem rare.

Will 16" classic wheels clear the 4-pots?

Help gratefully received.

Just an idea fella but if your stud pattern is 5x100 try looking at VW rims a lot of VDub boys run banded steels and are also 5x100

Hope that helps

You can get a set of wheels and tyres here, just put in your car details etc.

I bought some for my Seat Exeo and the service was great.

Thanks for the tips guys, I will try out that site.

Currently looking at some Subaru Impreza Asahi Tec 16" Alloy Wheels on eBay as well.

I assume the PCD is 5x100 I think the Blobeyes moved to 114x5.

Only the widetrack blob STIs from circa 2005-on went to 114 PCD. WRXs stayed 5x100

Is the standard offset on a WRX 55?

Just wanted to make sure the steel wheels would fit from the automatic selector as I have 3 choices.

Buy a cheap set of standard MY00 UK Turbo alloys and fit winter tyres to those. Much less hassle, IMO.

Ordered the steel wheels set from mytyres, worked out at £11 for the wheel and its on the rim. Choose Nokians, so in a few days the swap over will start.

Wheels and tyres on been for a test drive, brakes very well, and the grip seems good.
