TAX TIME: New Wheels, what ones is the question?

Postby Fourlex » Sat Jul 21, 2012 9:13 pm

I'm so stuck!! I need serious help. I have a dark blue lib and I'm looking at 19s or 20s? what you recommend?

Picking the right wheels is so hard, I like 5 spoke ones but then I like all different ones! HELP

white or black is what i'm thinking, decisions decisions

I recommend 19s... Or 18s.
White can look very good on blue, as can silver. Black on blue can sometimes not look so good.

I also recommend getting your favorite rims as opposed to ones someone else suggests, so don't listen to me :D

Just trawl wheel manufacturers sites, google images and subaru forums....

Everyone has different ideas and tastes.
