Newest STi wheels, discuss:



The previous STi's have had such great wheels, every model year to date has had good wheels, and then they have to go and ruin it with these heavy looking monstrosities.

This deserved its own thread.

Weren't these available on the '08 models? I could have sworn I seen these on display when they first came out. I even snapped a picture on my cell phone back then with these wheels on it.

Yeah, they have been around. They are rare on a 2008.

I think they look good personally. I can't comment on the weight, but I like clean 5-spokes.

Ah, that's a shame! I wasn't sure if they did or just looked it. Man, what a waste, heavy performance robbing wheels on an STi? Why Subaru? Why?

All previous wheels have been nice forged wheels that were strong and fairly light weight.

I like the five spokes on silver and white. That being said, I couldnt rock them, too heavy. BBS FTW!
