No the 06 STi has a different bolt pattern than all the other imprezas for 02 to now at least.

I had 20lb 17's a while ago, but took them off. They made the car feel sluggish. Handled good though

Thats why i think that the STI BBS's are a steal... very light for 17 (16.5 lbs). Big difference when dealing with rotational weight (unsprung).

Racing wheels are lighter still. The SSR Comps (a.k.a. Type-C) 17 X 7.5 I use are 12.7 lbs. They cost, though. They SSR GT2 weighs in the 14 lb range and cost around $250. Both are forged aluminum.
