STI Wheel Identification

jabz · 03-09-2008, 06:07 PM

an someone please help me with the BBS Model name and Series name for these STI Wheels and what colour they are?

I assume they are BBS? Getting these over here in NZ are $4000/set almost!!
Do BBS do these in their normal range and not just OEM?
Maybe I could buy from the normal range and replace the center cap's with STI ones.

thanks for the help. I like the top set the best.

The top set look like factory Spec C wheels. I don't recognize the bottom set offhand.

I believe those are Subaru specific wheels and are only available through subaru.

You can find used sets from time to time, and vendors can occasionally get their hands on them as well.

Yeah, I ment I didn't think he was going to be able to get a replica trype wheel from somewhere or just by calling up BBS and ordering them.

They also have the STi stamp like ours do.

the top ones are enkei's, not BBS

***houseofsuffering*** · 03-10-2008, 06:53 AM

Thanks
hmm would the 17" versions fit my BE '99 Legacy B4 RSK?
Which is 5x100

**boondocksaint** · 03-11-2008, 04:21 AM

No, I'm afraid those wheels are 5x114.3.

Dave · 03-11-2008, 04:33 AM

those should fit. 04 STi's were 5x100 if memory serves.

and is it just me or do these look insanely similar to the Forester XT with STi package wheels?

(sorry will... blue wasabi was the best pic i knew I could find.)

If that's the case and you like the look see if you can grab a used set of those. Unless the new foresters aren't 5x100 anymore....

I *MIGHT* be able to get those FXT wheels in at work, but they will NOT be cheap at all. Used would be your better bet. We've only had 3 or 4 FXT's through in the past 4 months

**boondocksaint** · 03-11-2008, 04:47 AM

^Correct. I forgot about those particular wheels. I was referring to the other Spec C wheels.

Sorry for the confusion.

I was not aware they made that style in a pre-SpecC fitment.

jabz · 03-12-2008, 01:24 AM

no worries..
Anybody got good hi res straight on pics of these two styles on their cars? Both in gun metal colour.
So I can photoshop them onto my car to see what they look like
