I Emailed Shane at Mr Mag and he wants to see a pic of these Vortex 14" alloy wheels . Anyone have a close up with and without the center caps ?

Thanks , Adrian .

Actually Twilight do you have any pics of these rims on your L RX , ah know of any sets of them in the offing up your way ?

Also I didn't know there was an 80 series 185 13" tyre available .

Cheers Adrian .

We picked 80 profile tyres for the beach work

not good for the fast corners but then the L wasn't made for that

No probs Adrian

He's the shots... with and without caps. I also have a closer shot of the 'without cap' if you need it?

Hey Adrian.. I forgot to mention that these were off a Peugeot and needed a slight bit of machining before the tyres were fitted. Just to make them fit the centre hole locating lugs on the splined hubs. Got this done by Leo Gomers Engineering (his business repairs bent/buckled or broken rims) but anyone with a large lathe should be able to do this for you.

Ahh so not an OE Subaru wheel .
They look like the offset is about right so what is the width and what size tyres are those ?

Machining the hole to make them hub centric is no problem .

If I can have the Pug model they are off that would help too .

Thanks again , cheers A .

Definately not OEM Subaru or any car manufacturer. Aftermarket for sure, I think made by Performance Wheels and called Marquee but I'm just guessing?

Sorry Adrian I forgot to mention the rim is 5.5" The offset is unknown but they look correct for the Subie. The tyres I have on it at the moment are 185/65R14 but I feel are a little to big as they rub slightly on the rear.

We had them on my friends 504 Pug a few years ago and I've seen a couple of Pugs with them on as well. If you're thinking of looking at Pug wreckers then try Eurospares and Ren Wreck over here. If you can't get hold of them? let me know and I'll drop past them and see if they have anything

You'll probably know anyway but I'll look up what the OE 14" tyre was for Vortexs later .

Cheers A .

Eurospares and Ren Wreck . Ta .

I've never seen 14" tyres on the Vortex's from the dealerships in Australia but the XT6 in Japan and US had the 14" cause they are 5 stud. The suspension setup in the XT6 is completely different and I think they use 185/65R14 tyres.
