Subaru vortex rim options?

Post by Johnny T » Sat May 29, 2010 1:21 pm

Hi everyone, i am considering getting some alloys for my vortex, the stud pattern is standard 4 (not sure what the sizes are for it) but I've heard you can put some Peugeot rims on some subaru's, so I would like to know if anyone has done this and also would the Peugeot 504/505 14" rims would fit on my car?

Any help would be great

Thank you all for your time
Johnny T

The stud pattern would be 140 PCD, not standard.

Basically your options are limited to Subaru only, Sunrasias or Peugeot.

I will post some pictures tomorrow.

you can also get superlites. quite expensive tho apparantly. I have never priced them myself but they look like this.

Superlites?
They're made in South Australia by Performance Wheels.
Ask any tyre shop.

240$ each? well that's just a nice kick in the teeth, i sure hope for that price they included the tyres as well, if not well looks like I'm stuck with what Ive got unfortunately or maybe later down the track when im ready to get them (note: im just looking for now)
I found this website that has them, ive just send them an email and gotta wait for a response (not gonna get 1 tonight lol)
heres the link: http://www.performancewheels.com.au/superlite.asp

Performance won't retail. You'll have to get a price from a tyre shop but $240 is about right.
You won't find new alloys much under that. Occasionally they come up 2nd hand.
