Different look: Steel wheel vs Stock WRX wheel
I have searched the forum....and most of the topic are about mags/rim offset...but not about Steel wheels
i'm the second owner of my car....and when i got the car from the dealer....they put winter steelies for me....the 195/65R15 steelies looks more "sticking out" (closer to the fender/smaller offset) then stock WRX 205/55R16.... i couldn't really find the offset value on the steelies...looks like 15x6 et50mm or less....and stock wrx is 16x6.5 et55mm so definitely, the track width with the steelies are longer apart....might result in more stress in the bearings? what else could wear out quicker?.... how long does subaru's bearing usually last? anyways...it's only for a winter...but would appreciate if someone can answer my concern man, the stock WRX mags just look plain ugly...6.5 wide 55mm offset really makes the wheels look "pushed in" if you know what i mean....
