Does anyone know whether the STI will be available with silver wheels (not a gold wheels junkie myself)

Cheers

Nope

But there will be an 18" ET46 option shortly, the P1/UK300 ones don't fit at ET53, in fact very few wheels will as they foul the Brembo calipers at the front.

There are three Prodrive part numbers for the new wheels, so my guess is they will be available in gold/anthracite/silver.

Price should be £275, same as current.

Alternatively, you could have your 17's stripped and silver powder coated.

It's the wheel offset. Because the STi has dirty great Brembo calipers on the front the normal WRX offsets (ET53 to ET55) will not fit.

my 'dirty great Brembos' fit fine under my P1 17" wheels so what's different with the MY01 wheels/brembos?

cheers,
