have been trying to buy Privat Kups for the past month but theyre on backorder forever

found these on craigslist but not sure how they would look on my subie.. need your guys opinions

and these are the new wheels im thinking

ive really been wanting some kups...so they have my vote

myrt1987 · 09-26-2012, 07:48 PM

They look like they should be on a VW to me. lol I would wait for the other ones.

But then again i would just go for the cheaper ones.

I love your car btw.

I dig these wheels. One day, I will have them! Always helps to find a pic of your car with them on.

those are some nice wheels ..good taste

Chazzinator · 09-29-2012, 08:58 PM

i would go with the wheels your thinking about i think that lip on there looks wicked good.

Ziggyrama · 09-29-2012, 09:28 PM

Based on the lip, I am guessing the offset is pretty aggressive? Will that fit your car?

SpinningAllFours · 09-29-2012, 09:38 PM

I think you need some 18' O.Z Ultraleggeras. Look great on anything and they are extremely light for maximum performance

Ebranch · 10-03-2012, 09:19 AM

^^^ are those 17s or 18s on the bugeye? This is my current dilemma.

99imprezd · 10-03-2012, 11:59 AM

work emotions are sick! you could always go with a stock STi wheel.. thats what ive got on my my 04, love them. Pics of all those cars are lowered.. I put my 17"s on my stock suspension and still had huge wheel gap.. lowered on teins & new KYB's now.. looks perfect!

DONx3 · 10-03-2012, 09:55 PM

Work emotions are nice but heavy, more unsprung weight which will decrease your acceleration. Only works I would get would be the ones that use their new WFT tech.

CaseyMurphy · 10-04-2012, 09:39 PM

The ones you were thinking about getting look so nice on that blue WRX of yours. I'm thinking about getting wheels similar to that but i'm not sure if they would look good on a white Impreza. So i'm indecisive.

CaseyMurphy · 10-04-2012, 09:41 PM

Oh and what is the width of the ones on the bug eye? They look super wide.

SpinningAllFours · 10-05-2012, 11:37 PM

The OZs on the bugeye are 18x9.5. Those are the widest the wheel comes in.

bbun · 10-06-2012, 01:48 AM

anyone knows what the name of the rims are from craigslist?

tuzzio · 10-08-2012, 08:53 AM

I think new wheels are a win, wheels on back order are ugly as all hell.
