from ralliart's site:

rims = $800 each

from nasioc:

tires = $400 each

using my trusty HP25, that would be $4800!!!!

now car is $31000, whee/tire combol is around 15% of the cost.

(now granted those are retail/dealer's prices i quoted)

(okay, been searching all weekend long for a cheap replacement tire/wheel combo cause now i think my 17" rota subzeros wont fit... GRRRRRR)

any idea how much subaru got them for???

$400/tire? if i recall correctly, tirerack quoted me half that for the re070. still a lot of dough.

Volk TE-37 gunmetal 18 inch w/ 235/40 Toyo Proxes T1-S times 4 equaled about 3.2k when i ordered them. I returned them when i got the car and discovered i liked the stock rims alot more than i thought i would. Peace!!

Re: Black on Gold...ooohhh baby!!

did you try fitting the te-37s? right now, i think some of us would take *any* wheel that would fit. tirerack still doesn't have any wheels specified, though they now have the sti in their menu.

I emailed Mike Shields, and he has cast aluminum 17" Speedline GT-1 wheels that fit for $266 each (21lbs). And you can put any tire you want on the car, it doesn't need to be RE070!

If no other, better options turn up, that's what I'll use for winter.

who is mike shields? what's the width? i did some digging. (speedline has to have the worst website.) is this the 2113 model?

looks like they come in gold (click the "zoom" button). however, they're a twelve spoke wheel (okay, it's a split 6). 10 is a big enough pain to clean.

Mike's website. He's one of the original Subie tuners:

He knows they clear the Brembos because he's been selling the Brembos for a while. It's a special order rally tarmac wheel -- I assume it's 17x7.5
