I have an 08 white Subaru Impreza 2.5i and am looking to get new wheels and tires for it. The specs I need are 17x8 or 18x8, 5x100 with a 45 offset.

I've been looking around online at rims and so far these are my favorites.

TSW --- Nurburgring (Matte Gunmetal)

Tenzo-R --- Type M (Black)

Avant Garde --- M310 (Matte Black)

Drag --- DR-34 (Matte Black)

Now I know nothing about the brands, I like these ones purely based on looks. All of them besides the Drag one are pretty expensive.

So Im just wondering if any of you could recommend me any more brands that are similar to the spoke style I like but preferably on the cheaper side or feel free to let me know if its worth paying top dollar for quality rims.

Oh and if you have owned 17" and 18" wheels before please let me know which you recommend as im still undecided

Thanks in advance

xxr 527

Close, but not quite the same spoke style as the other ones I listed. thanks though

XXR 530's are closer to what you're looking for. If you were looking for big ass lips, XXR 526's.

That's knockoff stuff though, if you're a big baller, the following are some higher end rims that fit the look you're looking for. If you're on a tight budget, don't even bother.

BBS LM, BBS RS-GT, Work VS-XX, Work Meister M1, SSR Professor MS3.

I've owned lots of sets of wheels, both reps and authentic. It would be a long list for me to write out.
Main difference between reps and authentic rims are construction. I've destroyed two Rotas (reps) to date and I'm yet to destroy any of my authentics.

That being said, if you're not completely brain dead and can avoid potholes. Knockoffs will be fine for every day driving.

The XXR 530's are the closest to what im looking for so ill check em out and see how much they run compared to the others. thanks.

The other rims you mentioned are very nice but for my car im looking for all black rims with the rim being flush with the tire.

Do the rims I listed earlier have a certain design name for that spoke pattern? I pretty much want them to look like this.

Those are fucking sexy
