These are just throw away parts, same with the interior, just to make it road legal.

MY05 does not have the BBS alloys as standard - they're an option, and quite an expensive one IIRC. Most have the same Enkei wheels as the UK '05 STI.

just got to add,a lot of people are saying that insurance is cheaper on the inports???.in general,that is not the case,and even though jdms have a lot of advantages,think its unfair to get to biased!!.generaly insurance is higher,waranty can be a pig if you have a problem, n if you dont get it inported through the right channels,you probably be wanting a remap too!. cheers pete.

Yes to be safe a JDM will need a remap! false economy not to do so!! But you can build this into your price.
Cheers Andy
