i think those ones are just an aftermarket poc, ive seen em on a few cars at work.

pretty certain they were not factory on CE Lancers

they are ugly as

They grow on you after a while in looks , but just not practicle with no centres and only 4 with no spare

the could even be custom.

never seen em on a l-series before. Bloody rare as is they arent custom.

I've seen them on excels/lancers etc. As Matatak said - aftermarket rims. I think they're pretty common.

Cheers

There used to be a turbo L just around the corner from me with wheels like that. They were CSAs, but AFAIK they're no longer available.

looks like the pictured L will have redrilled hubs, so the rims wouldn't be custom.

I would have to agree with Matatak.

Defiantly re-drilled hubs.

They are CSA alloys.....

Will check to see if hubs redrilled , have a spare ROH standard 13 inch laying around a mates house , I just hope that fits , cheers

makes it harder now to decide if I get new hubs or re bolt them to standard Subi patern , sell rims with hubs or find rims suited to 4wd in the new stud patern , any ideas ????

The studs are definitely too close together to be 140mm PCD

Matatak · Post by **Matatak** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:55 pm

thats coz they are now 4x100.

if you want to get normal Subaru wheels knock the studs out then put them back into the outside holes.

Measure the centre to centre distance between two diagonally opposite studs. If it's 100mm or 114.3mm, you should have plenty of choices in wheels. See http://www.retroridescommunity.com/whee ... &submit=go

Or if you prefer Sunraysia-style wheels, it's easy enough to knock the studs out of your hubs and move them back to the original 4x140 holes.

Well that settles that then , looks like I knock out studs and place them back in subi patern for some Scorpion 14 inch rims , cheers all for the advice
