Winter wheels

I have a set of winter tires getting ready to be ordered (Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds) but I'm looking to possibly get a set of rims for the winter too. The prodrives will not see snow. I already made that promise to myself.

Anyone know of a good and decently cheap rim (preferably 15-16")? It will only be used for the winter. I also have the option of OEM rims or just purchasing winter steelies.. but if I can find some ok looking rims for the right price, theres no reason I still can't look nice (and not-OEM) in the winter?

I got some ASA's from tire rack @ $99/wheel.

Checked out their options. None of them jump out at me. What I'd REALLY love to get is something that looks similar to

Looking into some rota slips..

in the meantime. I'm thinking maybe a set of the old rims off a legacy. Those could look decent if i get the right ones.

Found the legacy wheels I was looking for he's asking $200 for the lot (no tires)

however, I also found brand new Enkei's for $90 each

decisions decisions....

unless the Enkeis weigh a lot less I'd say "winter wheels: cheaper = better"

agreed.

these wheels will also double as rallyX rims too though... that is where the debate in my mind lies.

This is going to turn into franken-scoob's monster. When the winter season starts, it'll be: Impreza body, forester suspension, legacy wheels.... what next!?

That would require 18" wheels then so that is out...maybe Tribeca seats?

Is it not an STI? I rock 18" Wheels.

If he had free 18s, then he might use them, but having that low a profile tire in PA winter is just asking for bent rims. Not to mention the cost of finding a winter tire for it. Ans as far as auto-x, all that extra unsprung weight with the un-tuned forrester sticks would be fighting for the extra time that the decreased sidewall flex would give you.

Go with the Leg wheels!
