Sunraisers on Forester

Anyone seen or heard of sunraiser rims on a Forester? Some pics would be nice.
Im toying with the idea of having a 2nd set of rims and tyres for offroading with the Forester. Not sure if this makes a lot of sence at all but im not too fond of scratching up my fancy rims and i have always been a fan of Sunraisers.
Im assuming being a more common stud pattern that they would have to be cheaper and easier to find than the old school 4 stud subi rims.
Anyone have any info on this?

im sure they will do them. I also think theyd look cool, having a slightly wider track. I can just imagine it now......

I've never seen them on 5 stud for Subarus. Would be worth looking into that that way you could wack them on for off road use and put on good rims for everyday use...

I don't think there is much call for them due to the amount of second hand wheels you can buy and quite cheaply too. No doubt you would be able to buy them though.

Why not grab a set of 15" or 16" Forester steelies? They'd be almost free, probably straighter and paintable.

Pretty sure you can order speedies new with whatever stud pattern you like, would be worth sending them an email enquiry anyways. I rekon it would look good on the Forry. I might get some for my wagon too as I think that's really the only wheel that suits an L series and I'm now running suby 5stud too.

Steelies are cheap cos they looks cheap. I want it to look good and different.
Thanks for the replies so far... might try some rim places.

lol
you would prefer a set of white sunraysias to a set of silver spoked steel forester rims????
you realise im talking about the 5 spoked steel forester rims, not the pursuit style spare steel rims?
our tastes obviously differ
let us know what you end up finding

the stock steelies painted white would look good

i painted my stock steels black, the thing that sucks about them is they are designed to fill your breaks and wheels up with mud. i want some sunrasias too, so let me know!

I never said i was going to get rid of the rims i have now. Im after a 2nd set for offroading. I want a second set cos i DO really like the ones i have now and don't want to mess them up. Also i would like some more forgiving tires than the ones i have now. Agiain the tires i have now are GREAT... and i don't want to rip them up offroad.
