That's not crazy, lots of people run the stock STi BBS. They're pretty pricey though. Most sets usually run $800 and up. Good luck with the search

I dont think the wrx has ever come with BBS wheels stock....at least Ive never seen them

The 2004 STi comes with stock 17x7.5 BBS wheels. 2005+ STo comes with 17x8 and have a different bolt pattern that wont fit the wrx.

The BBS wheels were a pricey option. And they look a whole lot better than the STi BBS wheels (which look good too).

Those wheels are RG-R forged 17x7.5 48mm offset. They sell @ The Tire Rack for $560 each.

I have a set new in a box. What will you pay for them shipped???

The 17x7 Subaru-BBS *option* was EXPENSIVE and rare as people said.

Good luck finding these. You're not the only one who wants them. Demand is higher than supply.

take a deep breath, think it over, and you should realize there are better wheels.

Very true... but these wheels are not a practical decision. It's pure emotion: gorgeous bbs RGR ET53 forged wheels.... I want em too. But not willing to pay retail.
