I was going to buy a set of Rota Torques from a guy who CLAIMED they were 5x100 so I assumed they came off a VW or something. Get to his garage and they were way rashed up and came off a Mazda 3 so it was clearly 5x114.3. After him and his dad measured the bolt pattern (incorrectly) like 50 times they came to the conclusion that the wheels were indeed 5x100 and my car needed 5x114.3 which is the exact opposite of the truth.

So I'm just going to buy new wheels, what do you think would look good on my Forester?

Looks like this with stock wheels

Stock wheels. Those look badass. Anything different would be a waste of money.

Those are not the stock wheels.

These are, they are 16x6.5 with 215's on them and they are too skinny, sidewall is too fat, offset too high.

These were my original choice for my car, Gram Lights 57xtremes. Kind of expensive though, for 18s you are looking at 1800, 19s are close to 2 grand.

I say stick with Torques, they look awesome and are nicely priced! Keep looking around!

The wheels used on the Mighty Car Mods Forester. I'll try to find a name.

Those are Ultrex RS's, they just make knock offs like Rota.

I haven't got a problem with knock offs since I wont be making 129412 horsepower.

This is what I want to do to mine. The offset is way off, I think, but it's HOT.

I'm looking for a fairly low offset compared to stock.

I mean my E30 ran zero offset front and rear but that was an E30 and this is a Forester.

I'd be happy sitting around 30-34 for a positive offset.

I like those wheels. Great price too. Might consider. That's not a 2007 fozzy, tho.
