Very nice looking wheels. I'm afraid for the price (which I'm assuming is $5-600/wheel), I'd rather buy some legit Advan, SSR or Volk wheels. After having a set of GR STI BBS wheels with many spokes, I'm never doing that again. Wheel cleaning nightmare!

Thanks. Luckily, I only paid $600 plus an exhaust that I didn't want when I bought the wagon in '09. It had 90% tread on the SO-3's.
Yes, I agree with cleaning them is a hassle which is why I painted them graphite.
Also you can wax the wheels or seal them to help the brake dust to not cling to the finish. ;)

Got my hopes up! Looks good, I may try and find a set to mount up just to see

Don't
Specs above are incorrect, these are +53 offset, so you'll wear out your control arm bushings a lot faster.

Other specs are 17x7.5 and the weight is about 16 (15.7) lbs.
They are nice wheels (got two sets, but not for anything that will be daily on a BRZ).

not sure if you're referring to my wheels. If you are..

I maybe off on the et but the '04's are 17x7. '05's are 17X7.5 ;)
Let me know if you need a pic to confirm. :popcorn:

Incorrect on both counts.

Ok, I guess my brain was wrong and you are right. Just checked my wheels :bonk:

17x7.5 et 53 and '05's are 17x8 :lol:

The rims on the blue suby look NOTHING like the ones OP has posted?

Or were they just for size/fitment reference...

Also where are these wheels available>?

The rims pictured on the wagon above are for stock '04 STi BBS 5x100 +53 wheels. They have nothing to do with the enkeis that are being discussed in this thread. Other than the fact that they are 5x100.

They are available anywhere that has access to STi/Subaru parts. I would assume they will be an available option to the BRZ in the US eventually. But we won't know for sure until SOA releases a new BRZ/STi/SPT accessory/performance catalog.

Anyone know of any websites you can order these from in the US? I only found them on the STi .jp site and I want the black ones SO bad...

NEEDZ WIDER!

ngabdala 09-11-2012 01:20 AM

What is the widest tire these JDM STI wheels can hold? Is it 7.5 since the 17s are 17x7.5j +48mm and the 18s are 18x7.5j +48mm?

I wish 8" or more
