i like the fact they're in 5x100!
I've NEVER had probles getting any wheels in that fitment, If in the rare chance the manufacturer doesn't do them, they will supply an undrilled blank wheel in any offset they do (somethimes a wheel you can get milled to any offset as well). So whats the issue? Unless there is just NO service in the States as this seems to be the only place with issues? |

There is services like that in the US, but you have to take into account the geographical size of this country. Most of the time when you find something like this it will be in on either the west coast or the east coast, possibly on the southern border in Texas. It costs a lot to be shipping wheels all over the country, and god forbid if they mess it up.

Back when I had a subie, 5x100 were very limited to like 17/18x7/7.5/8/8.5 with 35+ and higher offset. Unless you go rota with the super aggressive fitment =/ Then not too long ago they Rays-Engineering started to release a few 5x100 in like 18x9.5 and IIRC so did enkei with the NT03. Also if IIRC the 5x100 subaru hub has pretty weak bearings to handle the aggressive fitment (width +9 and with lower offsets).

Was hoping they will use 5x114. Most JDM wheels in the market with low offset, staggered are not 5x100.

I wouldn't worry about it. There will be plenty of options by the time the car is released. Hell, you order 5 sets of any one wheel and Rays Engineering will custom make any fitment you want.
