Net Weight of the rim is 18 lbs. each.

48 offset is the standard as used on the stock wheel. Per tire technician, the offset can be varied depending on the design of the wheel, WRX/STI usually can fit with 42mm ~ 52mm offset wheels. 42mm is the minimum offset which works fine with the car as you've seen on photos. Of course, no rubbing or any issue whatsoever.

The net weight of the rim is 18 lbs. each.

If any of you like the unique design (The Hanabi design just came out on market at Vancouver in July 2004), or you are about to get rid of your old 16''stock wheel/tire and thinking to upgrade your tire size to 17" before winter comes, this is a good chance to do it.

My recommended tire size is 225/45/R17 to match this rim, which is also the same size used on STI. If you buy "Falken" brand tire, they will fit just perfectly as a family. Suggest to buy a set of the all season tires yourself to match the rims.

Looking forward to your offer.

you said that they 'should' fit an STi... how certain are you. They look like nice rims and everything, but I'd need to know that they'd fit my '04 Sti without a doubt. Thanks

Inner diameter is 15" at the shortest spacing

I've just measured the inner side diameter of my rim, the shortest distance is 15". Not too sure how big room your Bremo's break system needs, as long as the overall size is closed to the stock break, they should work fit fine. If you are interested in seeing the sample to identify the spacing you need, please feel free to send me PM. I'll show you the rims. thanks.

The rims are not only fit into Subaru, they should also fit into other Japanese Cars.

Yes, I'm still selling them and they will fit to 04 STI. 04 STI has the same tire clearance as 04 WRX has. I still keep the purchase receipt. Send me PM if you're interested. Thanks.
