tell me where it says 'LIBERTY' it say sti wrx forester....well???

Our ULTREX RS rims will look so hot on your WRX or STI. The RS rims is one of the best looking rims for the WRX. These rims look great as they are a large 18 X 8 with a +42 offset. They are big, wide with an aggresive style!
Hyperblack - looks great with most colour WRX and STI cars.

Similar looking rims cost well over $3000 so these are an absolute bargain!
Price includes Rims and Ultrex Carbon Fibre centre caps only. No nuts or tyres.

These rims are duel offset 100 and 114.3 5 stud. Offset is +45. Each rims weights approx 9.5 kg.
These rims will fit Subaru WRX, SUBARU STI and Subaru Forester but guard rolling may be required. Will fit other PCD 100 and 114.3 cars.

Well the rims didnt fit Ollies Lib but I ended up bolting them on to my REX yesterday...Fill the guards perfectly and look like a millions bucks...

Then straight to the track for some hooning

Are the guards on a LIB wagon narrower than the sedan or the same?

Same same. They share the same guards up front. Hmm, perhaps try with an Outback fender?

Btw, looks good Ultrex!

Looks bombed Rob!!...

Still keen to test fit them on my car? maybe long weekend monday coming up if your keen!? :lol:

U sure they are the same Jim? Sentinel bought a set of wheels the same as mine(Ultraleggera's) and apparently couldn't fit them to the wagon?

Jimmy, I confirmed the fact with Phat. The front half of the sedan and wagon are 100% exactly the same in every aspect.

He also brought up 2 interesting points:

1. Make sure the offset is correct. A lot of times companies will bring in wheels that are the wrong offset.

2. Did Sentinel fit tires on the wheels, and then return the car to the ground? Because the geometry of the suspension, the wheels, especially aftermarket ones, will stick out beyond the guards when the car is hoisted up. However when the car is lowered back down, the wheels will tuck into and under the guards.

there wouldnt happen to be spacers fitted already would there ??

just a thought.

Not sure TBH Jim, I'll let Steve answer that as I don't know if he tried the same offset or not!

Chaps - tyres were fitted, not a rim protection tyre though. Wheels were +45 not the +48 that they said they were... I actually couldn't drop the car fully to the ground as they simply hit the guard on the way down...

My new wheels are +50 19x8.5 and fit really good. Slight rub on inner rear guard on very heavy lateral load into corner.

Ultrex - looks awesome mate! Well done!
