I am too Adam, except finding a 5 spoke wheel that really suits the Subaru Liberty shape and body properly is hard. There are anumber of 5 spoke options out there in black, but it's hard to find something that doesnt look 'gimmicky' or 'cheap' looking or an after thought is what I want to avoid.

I really like the look of Both Koya models. The flush face spokes do look the best on these cars whether its 15 spokes or 5.

I've got the perfect 1. Bare with me I'll find it for you.

This aren't the ones.. ill find the actual ones. But basically the same as these but a brand called "concave" from memory.

Here's another option. These are based on the S402 legacy wheels. They come in polished, shadow chrome and black. Could look cool.

Thanks for those links mate. I like the first one. Second one is OK too. I reckon I've made up my mind to go with the koya ISR7's. I know I've been looking at multi spokes but these just are a really nice stand out rim that i haven't seen on other libertys. With painted calipers i reckon these should look the best. Plus at $240 each it's still good value for a quality made wheel. What you reckon?

Well the koyas are very similar to the first link I posted.. so I like them. Are you hooked on black? I think they'd look good in silver too.

For a 5 Spoke option.

Thanks Nikolai. This are pretty much the same as the Koya R5's in Black. It's a toss up between the R5's with the machined finish and the ISR7's. But this is a great comparison. Although these are in a 19" by the looks of it.

Yes they are practically identical. I really like the black for some reason. It just looks more sinister and it matches the grill really nice. It seems the trend with libs these days. Also 5 spoke style rims are hard to make these cars look good, but the ISR7's are killer and I reckon they'll set the car of nicely and still look unique.

Dont get me wrong, I am still a sucker for chrome lips and and deep dish rims but for some reason they look better on bigger cars where these cars need a flush face rim. It's only my opinion. But that's the way I look at it.

Update:

New wheels and tyres fitted on the car.

I must say I am pretty happy with the way the car looks. The tyres I have fitted are Continental Contisport MC5's and they stick to the road like the proverbial poo to a blanket. The car is handling a lot nicer around corners. I feel like there is a little more comfort in these tyres even though the are the same profile as the Falkens.

I'll post up pics after I have washed the car and it's looking more presentable.

oh man i hate pooing on the blanket.

Cant wait to see some pics!

lol. yeah sorry guys but Im NOT posting up pics of a dirty car. It's not a good look. I promise to post some up tomorrow after I wash it.

You shouldn't have told us haha, now I'm going to be checking this thread all day waiting for pics

Haha, sorry bryce. Im hoping my wheel choice doesn't disappoint when the pics go up.

Ok, here we go. I know some of you guys aren't fans of cyclists which is fin I won't hold that against you, but I thought I'd add my bike in for added effect. That's just me, it's what I do.

Wheels are: KOYA Inspiri ISR7 18x8 +45 Satin Black with Continental ContiMAX Sport MC5 225/40/18. I got a full set of 5 wheels and 5 tyres fully delivered. fitted and aligned for $2046. Probably not to everyones tastes or liking. But for me, I like the understated look. Plus it looks different to what everyone else has which was the aim.
