Don't Subys have an oddball stud pattern compared to toyotas?

Very nice job on the car too.

Wish I could swap my old mags for a professional paint job

I blame Boosted

Hows this my fault?

All MR2s are 5x114.3. All Celicas/Caldinas/Coronas etc are 5x100. All old subaru's are 5x100 but for some reason i thought the latest subaru's were 5x114.3. But i could well be imagining it.

It just is

You're right about late model (I think 05+) Subaru's being 5x114.3. Well STI's anyway.

thankfuly it is none of anybodys fault, the mags were multi fits so had 2 different 5 stud stud patterns, one of which fitted the mr2 the other one fitted the suby.

i dont know what the labor cost would have been for this job but the paint was $300 + thinners and hardners.

Time now for 3sgte I reckon

i am tempted however i drive this thing pretty hard and it is amazingly quick for a na but i dont completely trust the reliability of turbos and im sure i wouldnt be able to handle the power and end up with a close incounter with a tree/power poll/house
