Question Place to buy WRX 17" wheels

Is there anywhere online where you can buy new or used standard MY01/02 or RB5 17" wheels from? As Wanted is locked I cant ask there, and really I would like minty or nearly new wheels. I know Subaru dealers are 1 place to ask, but they dont usually have any in stock.

I got mine new from Robinsons in Rochdale, with tyres.
Bridgestone RE050 215/45/17`s 500 quid.
They get them from customers upgrading the wheels to 18"

Hope this helps

Haddocks had a set for sale but they wanted £500 PLUS vat!

Sourced a set this week for considerably less than that.

TSL Motorsport can sort you out some Speedline RB5 wheels in gold or silver for about £400

Question

I've found a set Deal in process, they're mint, however they have no centre caps

So where can I get the centre caps apart from a dealer?

Also can I use my existing MY99 16" wheel nuts with the new 17" wheels? Thx.

Wheel nuts are not a problem. Why not get the centre caps from a dealer, as I recall they're not expensive?

No go, mmm this is a bit of a nightmare as I need the code number for the colour or chassis number to get the caps in the right colour.
