Alright well I sold these bbs's and adapters to the current owner so I'll clear a few things up.

First of all, the adapters are made by motorsport tech. Made in America, quality adapters. They are 15mm, NOT 20mm as the seller stated. Here is the URL to the company:

Hub Centric Rings, Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers | Motorsport Tech

Also, the wheels are powder coated gloss black, NOT flat black.

Furthermore, the tires are 245/45/17, NOT 40's (He also forgot to mention the scoring on the sidewalls just fyi for potential buyers)

And, you do not need to shorten your studs to fit these adapters on... that's just dumb.

Lastly, and this part is just my opinion. The tires fit fine. 5x114 bbs's are 17x8, and a 245 on a 8" wheel is wider than stock, but it's been done plenty of times.

So, how about checking your facts before wasting everyone's time?

I thought you said 20 mm.
I am keeping the tires so the scoring isn't an issue.
To run propert without "wheel wobble" after you install the adapters you need to shorten the lug studs so it won't hit. Something you failed to mention. Ya I didn't know the pc was gloss black or where you got the adapters.

I can guarantee you that if you don't want your wheels to shake back and fourth you do need to shorten the studs on an 06 Wrx at least. Idk about a buy eye. I know for a fact because I had the wheel wobble...
