WHEELS











i know most people like to switch up wheels all the time, i just love these wheels too much.

my tyres came yesterday, they sent the wrong model and size! so hopefully the right ones come tomorrow. also had 5mm spacers, extended locking bolts and a few other bits show up.

fitting camber arms tonight!

Glad you decide to keep it! Looking at the pics up there...car looks mint, make's me miss my rf's. Can't wait to see this thing back together nicely fitted.

Im stuck in the same position you were with the car.

thanks man, now im set on keeping it im real excited to get the wheels back on. counting down the days!

Pretty chuffed you're keeping it, it shall remain as my fav car for a while longer haha. Excited to see the new wheel setup

Paint it hot pink. Hot pink = progress.

[Thooooom]

so.

I've decided to keep the car a bit longer, i graduate in a few months and dont really know what i'll be doing after that, so jumping into a new car that will eat all my money isnt the best decision right now.

although i'm keeping it i want to progress it somehow, so i'm building the wheels out wider and hoping to run more camber and better fitment. The cars been majorly neglected over the winter, its seen 1 wash since Ultimate Stance show in november. so ive replaced the front discs, pads and hubs (all needed doing) also bought a new sump guard as my old one was pretty chewed up.

bought new lips for my wheels to build the fronts out wider and make them my new rears. also camber arms for the rear.

new specs will be: 17 x 9.5 et13 fronts
17 x 10 et6 rears

i plan to run spacers which should get me to pretty much et0 all round, then i think i'll be happy. new tyres are ordered so should be back on the RF's within about 2 weeks.

sorry for lack of photos, i'll update tomorrow with some.

I'm personally not into Subarus, but a Legacy sounds good, not many of those about in Britain. It's always nice to see something thats not too common

Wagons are awesome! How about B5 S4 Avant???

YAAAAS get one of these boo boo

theyre cool, but ive had 2 friends with b5's, one was an s4 (not an avant but close enough). so i kind of feel like i'd just be doing stuff we already did to their cars.

perfect.

thanks!

Keep the wheels, even if you don't run them. Or send them to me, I'll dispose of them free of charge

Also, keep the car, or if you don't do not get a E46 coupe, as sedans are way more baller than the coupes.

i love the wheels, thats why i havent tried to sell them. really not sure what to do

Don't sell it Man i'd keep this thing forever. Save up and get yourself another project

i'd probably say the same if i saw a photo of it, but after seeing it everyday you get used to it and want other things i guess, im sure youd say the same if it were yours haha

i love wagons, but if i wanted one id get a Subaru legacy over an e46. theyre on my potential list for next car.
