I will apologize ahead of time for not being much of a computer nut. I don't know how to link the page to show up in my text. I am wondering if anyone else had noticed these wheels for sale on ebay? I have been wanting a set of these ever since I bought the car but they are very hard to get ahold of. The top bid on them now is only $810. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on these, they look like they are in pretty good shape, but I guess that is really hard to tell from just a picture. The cheapest I have seen these for sale new is like $1300! If they don't get too pricey (and that includes factoring in the shipping) do any of you think these are worth bidding on? Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Matthew

P.S. I found them by typing in "wrx sti" in the search bar under ebay motors.

Hi Matthew,

I assume u're talking about this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=66475

I'm in Hong Kong now and i have these exact wheels on my 2004 STi. They are 17"x7.5" with RE040s on them with only 50kms....

Tell you what i've been trying to search for a set of US version BBS wheels instead of these ones, and i would like to know whether anyone will be willing to SWAP these wheels with me.

That is a very interesting idea. I have no clue what shipping would cost on something like this. Do you have an idea of what shipping four wheels to and from your area would cost? Also are you wanting gold or silver wheels?

Post office here quoted around $50 EACH wheel so it will be like $200 a set.

Gold ones are what i prefer.

I don't know, i just wanted to trade something that i would like to get rid of for what i really like/hard to find here with the lowest price possible and guess what, i got a "iffy trade" comment from other forums.

I mean, fine, i certainly dont mind to send out mine before anyone send me anything....

$50 per wheel is not too bad, I would have guessed it would be more. Was shipping going to be done through the Post-office or UPS or something like that. Also, what kind of insurance would be available? If you want to PM me you can. I may be interested in trading, I'll have to think about it, I have an '04 with gold bbs on it.
Thanks

I love that style. Wish it came on USDM. Looks good, and would be so much easier to clean.

kinda fishy to me.

I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL. Payment must be submitted in US dollars, and received within 10 *business* days of the auction closing. Thanks!
