Gold 17" wheels and tyres - now only £150 !!!
Due to upgrading to 18 inch wheels, my 17's are up for sale .
They were removed from my classic and are in excellent condition with matching Dunlop SP Sport 3000 tyres.
Professionally checked and balanced with all tyres virtually new measuring 6-7mm even tread.
Tyre size 215/45/17
Will fit all cars with PCD 5 x 100 (ie not newage).
Cash on collection preferred from Orpington, Kent. Area postcode BR6.
Looking for £ 150 ono (new tyres alone cost more than that!).
or
Could do swap/ Part-ex with set of 18" alloys+tyres.

Hiya mate: quick word of advice
a) A pic of them on the car will help you sell em: some people don't know what these look like a a classic
b) Tyre size would also be good info to put on there e.g. 215/45/17?

Hmmm. They are WRX wheels, that don't clear Brembo's. Well not the Gold Brembo's that you get on STi's.
I take it you just have aftermarket Brembo's and not just painted the STi ones?
Not trying to mess up your sale mate, but they just won't go over the Gold Brembos that most people have, without spacers and longer wheel stud's.

They are genuine Brembos, but are the Red big brake kit . they may be a different size to the gold brembos - I don't know.
I thought the gold wheels were from STI and not WRX versions - but stand to be corrected.
Anyway will edit post accordingly .
Cheers for the info.

Unable to edit main title, but as per earlier post , these may not clear gold brembos (they will however definitely clear the red Brembo big brake kit - as you can see from the pic).
If interested - you are welcome to try fitting them to your car before you buy.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Sedan Dec 2001 to Mar 2003
Gold alloy wheels are an STi trademark and one of the most recognisable features to distinguish the car from a standard WRX. Although both WRX and STi ride on 17-inch wheels, the STi's alloys are wider by half an inch and subsequently use one-size wider tyres (225 up from 215 on WRX). The STi's 17-inch wheels have five pairs of spokes and are shod with low profile Bridgestone Potenza RE040 rubber.

so perhaps these are STI wheels after all !!
I know that they are the original gold colour, and haven't been repainted.
- which means that they should fit over gold Brembos.
Can anyone else confirm this??

As above. The most certainly are WRX wheels, despite being Gold. They WONT fit over Brembos without spacers.
I reckon they would go over the K-sports, or most other big brake kits up to 330mm disc. It just seems to be the OEM Brembo's in Gold that are fussy.
