The only 4 stud 15s are Pugs, which are old and rare, or Superlites, each of which costs about as much as an L Series.

I stand corrected. Those Vortex wheels are probably rare and expensive too aren't they?

I'll leave that to Scott to say if he wants to but those 15" rim originally came off/produced for the Australasia Rally Teams (Factory Subaru endorsed). They were very exxy in their day but now they are just hard to find. Possum Motorsport would be your best chance of getting any.

I've got a set of UK made Rallysports Superlites on my RX but it after a recent google search it appears they no longer exist as a company.
But there is an Australian wheel manufacturer who makes superlites and should be able to help with the correct stud pattern - http://www.performancewheels.com.au/superlite.asp
Can guarantee a set aren't worth as much as your car (although Minisports do a package of wheels and tyres for a mini for $1900 so they're not that expensive) but if you're keen they should be able to help.

same problem here. waiting for performance wheels to get back to me. Can you fit a set of 15s on a brumby without having to put a lift kit under it. Just not sure how big i can go with out haveing to raise it.

Seeing the Brumby below is running 205/50R16 you should be able to fit the 15s without to many problems. I'm running 205/55R15 on the RX and the rear rub on the lip of the wheel arc when the car bottoms out but if I'm honest it really doesn't need anything wider than 195/55.

Josh B.. Mainly depends on the offset and width of the rim

i have had them on my Brumby and L sedan, one car at a time...... funny thing is the nom tyre roll diameter of 195 50 15 is a smidge over the 175 70 13. 15 is an illusion of the mind , more rim less tyre no need for a lift

cheers guys, ur a great help.

i was thinking of putting 15's on my L.... i got a 2 inch lift and just thought it was probably better in the long run but now i think i will just stick to the 14's
