Does anyone on this forum run scorpion 14" wheels? I'm looking into some but they are bloody expensive, but it seems they would be the best option for an unlifted wagon?

I have not personally but others on the board have used scorpions and should be able to give better feedback on them, but from what I have heard some have experienced cracks developing in the wheel from heavy 4wd and so on.

I would not suggest them as the best option. Try get as set of peugeot 504 steel wheels, as the are much cheaper, stronger, don't look quite as nice but you can always paint them black.

or if your thinking of spending that much, spend a few extra bucks and get some performance superlights. Their alloy/light, look good, and are preety damn strong. The picture in the previouse page of Phizinza's red brumby has got superlights on it. Phizinza's are 6-stud but you can order them in the subaru 4-stud pattern.

Yeah pretty much, most wheel/tyre shops should be able to order them in. Although shop around for a price as they seem to vary allot between shops.
'Performance wheels' is the company that makes the superlight wheel (http://www.performancewheels.com.au/sup ... wheels.htm), I am fairly sure they don't sell privately only through business’s but you could ask them again;)
