Default help picking wheel spec (spec C)

hi, i am trying to buy a new wheel for a MY05 spec C.

i believe they are 235/45/17 (can anyone confirm?)


there is a drop down list which is confusing.

http://www.rhdjapan.com/enkei-sti-op...h-wheels-55518

not sure anyone will know

thanks.

There are 3 potential wheels, BBS, Enkei and the RA Enkei option.

Best post a pic of the existing wheels

Tyre size is indeed 235/45/17.

I have a new set of Enkei Spec C wheels which would cost less than one of those lol

The wheel spec will be on the inside of your existing wheels but assuming yours is a proper MY05 (facelifted from MY03 form) and the rims are definitely 17" and silver, you have only one option in the MY05 PDC - 17x8 114.3 ET50

the garage/insurance are reimbursing me for it cause they can't find it themselves, so may as well go brand new...

but i actually have one wheel already curbed from a downhill slide in the snow. so may go for this too... thanks.
