Maybe the 2017 wheel is a different wheel, though it looks the same. An Australian dealer I contacted had the STI wheels for sale, but he would not tell me the weight because "it may not be the same wheel". Those wheels were described as spun cast, and I do not know if the ones available through US dealers are the same. I think Subaru should be more transparent about what they are selling for $$$, just looks or light weight performance?
