Default Motegi Trak-Lite2...Hmmmm....

These are promising....17x8/5.114.3 @ 14.5 lbs. Single piece, forged.

My retailer states they're in the 300-350 range...pretty good price...but do they fit??

I just sent Motegi a note asking for confirmation they'll work. Might be another wheel for the '05/'05 STI...

Perhaps others have seen these and already determined they will or will not work...if so sorry for the repeat.

not sure if they will fit on the sti, my friend just picked up the 5spoke version on his rsx and put 255' RT-615's on it. They seem like a rly good lightweight rim for the price.

Here's an update...

American Racing recieved my request for info and are currectly working to determine if this wheel will indeed fit an '04, or '05+ STi...

They sent me a document to complete which requires all kinds of wheel, hub, and caliper measurements.

I asked that they instead simply find a local dealer and mount it on the front and ponder it's clearance. Seems too easy. Anyway, they'll let me know something within the next couple of weeks.

Stay tuned...

A shop on ebay said that non of the Motegi wheels clear the brembos due to spoke design.
