'04 bolt circle = 5 x 100
'05 and '06 bolt circle = 5 x 114.3

'04 STi's have a wide variety of rims available because they share bolt circle with WRX etc. However if you need a stock rim you are restricted to '04 STi rims.

thanks for the replys, does any one know how i can get my hands on one rim. the dealer is tell me there is no way to even get a set. so the only way is for me to go aftermarket and spend $2,000 at least. dam i love the stock rims on the sti to... any help would be great, thanks

Check wrecking yards and ebay, you should be able to get one for less than $200... Check the BST, here, nasioc, i-club, & clubwrx...

yes. especially if you autox. or track the car.

how would you like some 17x9 +43mm wheels that fit without rubbing (on coilovers) for $850?

or 17x10 25mm non custom wheels. Also your bearings wont smoke themselves due to the offset and sticky rubber!!

this is only talking about the benefits of added wheel sizes and better bearings, there are more benefits I do not know enough about to comment.

The part # for the Gold BBS for an '04 is 28111 FE070. The dealer can order just one if you need it.
