Probably find they will need a spacer on the front wheels to clear the Brembo's!!

The wheels are the same design as the Rota Grids, the spoke curves in and just catches on the caliper, Only way round it is a 5mm spacer unfortunately.

I used spacers on my hawk STi with Rota grids, I dont do trackdays or really hard driving, If I was doing either of those 2 then I would think twice about fitting them!!!

What other wheels have you seen??? What do you think of the 2012 hatch STi wheels like below??

Good choice! I was in the same situation and like you, decided on a refurbishment and am so pleased with the end result. The STI wheels are quality so made sense to keep/refurb them.
