gawd i love out cars ... the same cannot be said for my 944
Heck man, if you're really in a hurry you can have the wheel bearings swapped out in less than 30 minutes for each side.

This applies to '04.5 and newer only.

Enkei needs to offer the RPF1 in an 18" that fits the +'05 STI. All of their other wheels need to see Jenny Craig if they plan on selling them under their 'racing line' of wheel offerings.

We can make this happen, we just need to find 23 more people that want the same thing (you and I included already).

they are available but not in the proper offset/hub bore/color (GOLD!!).

I can't facilitate or encourage or mention a GB of any kind, but I'll talk to my Enkei guy to see if he thinks it's possible.

It'd be even better for me if they offered that wheel in a 17x9, 5x114 in a +43-+45 to make it an option for a great track wheel.
