I have a feeling it won't take long to get the answer to this. Looking for these rims, pic stolen from DHGurs journal page.

[RCKSTR]

are you putting up a WTB thread for the hubs too?

[squeethebee]

Yeah, these will not fit your car.

[RCKSTR]

they're also big bucks, sti spec-c I believe... and SE wheels of course :)

Sorry for my ignorance, but, they won't?

[itsmy04wrx]

Different hubs means different lug pattern.

STi wheels are 5x114 and WRXs are 5x100. Unless you went with 04 STi wheels, because those are 5x100 too

He wants 18"s so the 04' wheels won't work either.

And yes they are Spec C wheels that came on the 2010 US STi SE model(I am NOT listing the full title...:spin: )
Connor want to gonover wheels when we go over suspension too? :up:

Yup yup

Like everyone said, those won't fit. But surprisingly, they are also relatively cheap from the dealership, under $500 a piece, where the heavier stock 5 spoke 18"s are closer to $800 a piece.

Although the spec-c wheels are made by Enkei, the closest wheel I have seen to it are made by OZ.

Do what I did, buy replicas

[Seraphinwolf]

Or better original designs. Konig, Enkie, etc make excelent wheels with a good weight and not a price that'll make you pull your hair out cause you fear the curbs but want to drive!!! The stock 11' WRX wheels may be an option. They look like they could be 18"s now but we'll have to wait and see. Also hunting eBay for used sets of good wheels is an option. Bent or curbed wheels can be mended and a custom color will make them YOURs!

The 2011 wheels are sick. They are 17x8, which is clutch. Way better then the skinny guys we got now.

My Monte Carlo had 16x6.5's which I thought was horrible. I got my rex and it has 17x7's (or 7.5's, not sure) and I thought, "wow, this is the greatest wheel ever". Until I started going to meets and seeing the guys with 18x8's, now those are sexy.

[DHGurs]

9.5" wide is even better.:devil:

Eff all your wide fenders.

*Goes back to 17x7 with 215's.*

[Seraphinwolf]

Chris I ran 235/40/18's on 18x7.5" +48 on my GF with little no roll. Little to no rub on a firm suspension. Truely I think so kinda magic happened for it to work that way but IDK it just did.

[tehsbean]

I was rubbing like crazy on 215/45/17 on +38 wheels. I'm still have some slight rubbing when going balls out (i.e. at SLMP) on the P1's with 215/45 Z1s. I need to stiffen the hell out of my suspension at this point, because the amount of roll it gives me is where the main issue is.

Someone donate some STi Tarmac springs to me plz.

[Seraphinwolf]

You running a roll on your fenders? I was hella slammed and only seeing a slight rub on my rears when I had the 215/45/17's. Only when I really pushed in a turn fulling shifting the weight.

I think he was going for a less expensive route by looking for an OEM wheel.

Body work = no roll. Although when the fenders were revamped, we ground them down as much as we could for clearance.

The price in Gary's link said it was per set. Put some STI center caps on and you will probably never notice the difference.

[Seraphinwolf]

That's what I mean though. Those still aren't "cheap" just cause they aren't as much as Volk's doesn't mean they aren't still essssspenssssssive.
These Konig's aren't bad on sizes or price.

except those Konigs are only 17"

[Seraphinwolf]

Just a reference. 18"s are about the same cost depending on what you want.
