Default Confused with BBS Wheels

I want to buy it due to its weight but wondering if this is a strong durable wheel and of course wondering how it looks. I know Tirerack.com got the picutre but I dont think its as clear.

Btw, what is the stock offset of the 04 STi?

Careful of the SSRs, some people have reported that they are susceptible to bending.

this is true of the 18" - the 17", however, is lighter and stronger from the shortened diameter...

i was hoping to hear this because i'm trying to decide which wheels to get, and i'm planning to put some 17x8.5 on the sti. and there don't seem too many of those outthere.

when considering prodrives are actually forged by Rays wheels i would rather spend the money on volk or work wheels... by far the best quality you can get for the sti
