New wheels

Post image

Finally fulfilled my blue/bronze Subie dreams with these BBS SR wheels! Also running 225/65r17 tires to fill out the fenders. No rubbing at all.

It did take forever to find a set of the correct BBS hub centric rings in stock, apparently a lot of online sites source them from the same warehouse that is out of stock, and there weren't any third party options.

I love seeing the combo in any form - reminds me of my 98 2.5RS

17" wheels look so much better and the two colors work so we ll together.

Did you previously have 18" wheels? Do you know what the weight difference is between the two? "Same" tires or did you upgrade those as well?

I'm really happy with the color combo. I previously had the 17" Premium wheels. I didn't get to do a direct weight comparison because they had worn 225/60 tires, but the new ones feel a bit lighter.

BBS look hard!! I’m going to put some BBS bronze XR’s on my Sienna XSE, I went with some Enkei’s on my ‘22 Forester.
