I also bought my Subaru with the plan to H6 swap it for a Japanese Porsche wagon but look what happened there :lol: :lol: :lol:
That's a bit more involved :doe:

Have some fun with the C5 at least.
I promised my mom I would drive it to Florida at some point.

Yeah if she flies up here after it's out of storage she'll get her one ride and that's that. She won't even like it :lol:

Why Alcoas tho? The Speedlines are lighter in weight, and darker in color I believe.

I've been trying to get her into a 3 hatch GT for years, but she took her already rusting Subaru down to Florida with her.

But they're virtually identical except I think the radii on the Alcoa edge might be a little bigger.

Alcoa's have a tighter radius on the edge of the spokes and are just a sharper looking wheel to me

This is true.

Yeah, and not a fan of that splitter/skirt combo. The C5 is fine without the stick on stuff.

Are those stock C6 GS sizes? I don't mind the splitter on cars that are lower in the front. My car for example is missing the side pieces of the front air dam and my goodness looks like I could tackle Moab 😂


But no scrape

:notsure: i dig it, the appropriate sizes for the C5 are 17" and at most 18" out back. That's way too big, I can't imagine how shitty that car rides. Mine was abysmal on 18s.

Agreed, I usually do not like shit like this but this is clean af. The perfect pain probably doesn't hurt. It looks pretty useless as transportation, but its pretty.

I honestly think it might be the paint. It is so fucking nice. I found out that car is on 19" front and 20" rear replica wheels. 18+19 OEM wheels would have been better for sure.

Nice paint, a good photo, and no stupid body side moldings on the doors. I think my car still looked a little redonkulous on the 18+19 combo, 17 or 18 or 17+18 is the way to go.
