Depends how much you wanna spend? $150 a wheel or $350 a wheel?

$150 would be the the standby Rotas, or some Enkeis

www.subydude.com

$350 would be Volks, SSR, Work

Here is some good information also:

Ok just a throw it out there question, what color 17" rims should I look at for my 02 Sedona Red Wagon?

Dean · 2005-11-07, 06:55 PM

You should all be looking at 17" Nippon Racing Lightstars from Dean's garage...

See pictures below. I think last I said was $300 incl a set of spline drive lug nuts...

I have both silver and black wheels for my Sedona Red sedan...Cick on the picture to see bigger.

Dean,

Actually I do like the silver ones, and what a coincidence, I own a sedona red wagon and my name is Dean.. I will consider it.

Freaky!

These are what I'm looking at right now

Enkei OR52 in anthracite

Ezdno · 2005-11-07, 09:16 PM

MRIMPREZIV or Cory told me about those today, I was at Summit Earlier and seen some kick ass Centerlines that might fit nicely under the old stock wheel wells

Ezdno · 2005-11-07, 09:18 PM

Dean,

Was that a road race at the Stead Airport in those pictures you posted?

sperry · 2005-11-07, 09:30 PM

That looks like the 1st autocross of the 2004 season, IIRC.

Test & Tune before the first autocross actually...

Sedona red deserves gunmetal or bronze wheels, hands down. Also, nKoan's Garnet Red Legacy GT has the gunmetal 5 spokes on the gray/black wagon in front of Dean's WRX in those pics. It looks hot too.

Yeah, red needs gunmetal or bronze. In fact, I'm thinking of powder coating the gram lights to bronze

Ezdno · 2005-11-08, 06:42 PM

The center lines I saw at Summit were a bronze sorta color, I still seem to be partial to silver. But I probably wont be spending to much moolah on this car until after the horror-days. But keep the ideas coming, you never know....
