I know i had a look the other day!! there silly money brand new.

Luckily i manage to get them new from the previous owner of the car, who had them sitting in his garage brand new in the box.

Double lucky for me i still have the original forged BBS Spec C wheels in my garage off the car and use them now for trackdays as they still have the japanese RE070 235/45/17 on them.

But have gone for the Vredestian sessantas on the S204 wheels, the seem to be a great tyre and have lasted very well considering they've been on there now for 3 years!

Thanks Gaz,

Nice looking motor you got there and propbably one of the lightest spec c evere made.

To be honest in not sure as to whether i have the S203 or S204 wheels?

I know I have the brighter wheels as one set is more gunmetal black and the other is lighter.
As to which is which is anyone guess.

The 5x114PCD Spec C wheels sit so much nicer as they're 8" wide instead of 7.5 for the 5x100PCD...

Can't beat RE070s on a JDM STI.

Mate, do you have more pictures? I have a blue hawk JDM as well and am considering these wheels so would like to see more shots of a blue hawk with these wheels.

I have now got a set of BBS alloys and need some wheel nuts for them as the set I have are tapered which the BBS are not. Has any one got any or know where I can get a set, without costing the earth.

Cheers

They still use the tapered ones on the BBS wheels? I thought they'd use the flat ones?

Tony,

they did not come as part of the drivers pack. When I got my MY03 STi GL it was an extra £1,500 for the BBS's, I thought bollocks to that I can get some good 18's for that price and I did

Yep your right, i did read somewhere where it said you got them with the drivers pack but this shows you dont (you do get the quick rack, a-dccd front and rear LSD's though)

Not many sets around in 114.3 PCD but if you want a set you`ll prob have to get looking in the US on NASOIC, There are a few sets for sale on there, Not sure on the shipping costs though, But they are a fraction of the cost of a new set,

Very Cheap http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2281395

Not so cheap http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2276355

Could be a bargain http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2280637

Most of the sets you see in the states are silver, now and again a gold set will pop up but you just need to be lucky i guess

I have just looked at mine and they appear to be made to fit standard Subaru studs, I don't know if yours are different and looking at Tony's picture above here his appear to be the same as mine!!
