I know this may sound a bit odd to some but i really like the look of black steelies on my impreza.. I think they give it a nice sleeper look. Its just the stock ones are a little bit small. I have heard that the toyota camry has the same stud pattern, just not sure about offset. Would spacers be an option for the camry wheels if i could find say some 16 or 17 steelies.. or even spacers on my own 15inch wheels just to fill the guard that little bit more ( although the stock steelies don't have as many slots and dont really look as good as other steelies, and are obiously a few inches smaller than preferred) or are these bad options? any other ideas to get or options would be great.. i don't want to spend a lot on rims but have heard that the steelies can add a lot of weight and hold back performance a bit, any opinions on this? cheers

Camry wheels wont fit without adapters. Subarus are mainly 5x100 so some audi and VW wheels fit. 

And yes steelies are really heavy

[Tebble Maddaye]

Camrys are 5x100 too i'm pretty sure.. main reason i'm looking at those are easy to source and can come in the 16inch variety

You may find tyre choice a bit limited in 16inch. Far more choice with 17s.

[Tebble Maddaye]

Yeah for sure! Any ideas where i could source a set of 17inch steelies for an impreza?

Foz steelies come in 16 and 17" (MY13-16 ?).

 

but .. really - lots of suby alloys available fairly cheap. Surely there's a style you like you can paint black

Get some 86/BRZ wheels and paint them black. They go for around $300 secondhand, usually with near new tyres.

That's 'cos they look like shit.

Hahaha. But when painted one colour they look good, similar to 2011 WRX wheels.

much improved ! -- I think its that stupid chrome/black thing they do.

thought i had found just what i was after when i saw these as they were advertised as 5x100 and 17 inch! Turns out they were listed wrong though.. anyway, these are the steelies i am after, the interceptor variety. Not the other types of steel wheels.
