I recently stumbled upon these wheels online, and thought they were strange. I was able to figure out that they were STi Genome SCUBA wheels, but not much else was immediately known.
After some research (on Russian, Thai, and Japanese websites), I was able to find out more about them. These wheels were available through the "Genome" parts catalog in Japan (and possibly other countries). Genome offered upgrades including exhausts and gauge packages. We saw Genome parts in the US in the form of axleback exhausts.
These wheels were made by Hitachi Metals, as part of the SCUBA aluminum wheel line. They were specifically offered for the BL and BP Legacy (fourth generation), but they should fit other 5x100 Subarus with a +55 offset.

would those wheels look good if they were painted up?

Plenty of odd never heard of wheels that belong to "manufacturer" aftermarket catalogs. Same with Nismo and TRD.
These wheels are...interesting.

Learning about rare wheels like these is awesome. My personal favorite manufacturer specials are the Nismo LM GT-1 manufactured by Rays and the Mugen M7.

For other rare Japanese wheels, how about some Mazda Koala's?
