Nope know these ones well they are 13" Vortex rims, I have a set wasting away in my shed.

The ones I saw were the ones you have they had centres with subaru on them :) they were on USMB but not sure if the member was from Australia or New Zealand.

I don't think it would be too hard to get a set of centres turned up for those rims then have Subaru either etched or laser cut into them.

I like the look of those wheels.
What colour combination is the Brumby's panels and wheels going to be?
Going with white again, if so, what colour for the rims?

Yes I've seen these on here :

List of 4x140 PCD Wheels ...

Not sure about the center caps though ... :(

They should look good on the brumby with low profile tyres & lowered suspension ... :p

Cheers, Bantum ...

Yeah Bantum Indysworld is the only place I have seen them . It would look good with low profiles but I'm still not sure if I want to build it into an off roader as it is very tempting.

Proton not to sure about color schemes yet. I think these wheels would really pop being white and as for the colour of the car, well I seem to change my mind everyday. The good thing is there is plenty of work to get it primered to think about it.

Holy crap this thread has moved fast!

Good looking brumby to start out with. The EA gear going to be spares for the wagon?

And a good score on the rims too!

I'm looking forward to more pics of the build!

Cheers

Yeah more spares for the wagz!:)


I spent a few hours on these rims last night.
Got them primered and painted 2 rims before I run out of paint.
Pretty happy with how they look.

Here's a pic of an NZ New EA82t Touring wagon with your 14" wheels, and centrpieces. It was on TradeMe a couple of years back.

Thought i would update what ive been busy doing every night after work.
Big change of plans. I really want to now build this into something i can take off road and camping. So the lowered look idea has now been thrown in the bin. The ej will come but will be put on hold. the main reason is i will be moving houses in august and dont want to be half way through a conversion than have to move my shed. So at the moment it has been hours and hours on body work. I wont be going to crazy on being as fussy as pro body shops as im not a pro but i do want it to still look reasonable.
The main body of the car has been stripped to bare metal. The tailgate is full of bog so im going to leave it off. its in real bad shape.
Im lovin the trimless look. Still alot of work but loving the way its looking.
cheers

The build is looking good mate! I think I'll have to do the same thing some day to my brumby ;)

You're going to have one awesome wagon and an awesome brumby before too long!
