I think they were a different shape, but if you are asking because you've heard about the PCD changing, they didn't. It was on the STi onlys, so all current WRX wheels fit older models.

Cheers for that. It was the PCD that was a concern. Im also looking at a set of 2005 Blobeye sti wheels. I know the stud fitment is ok but again the PCD is the concern. Would it of changed on the year?

How can the stud fitment be OK if the pcd changes? The one is dependent on the other.

05 STI wheels are 114.5 PCD (stud fitment). WRX (all years) are 100 PCD, therefore 05 STI wheels will not fit your hubs.
05 blob and 02 bug WRX wheels are same patern, colour is probably different.

I believe 2005 was the changeover year for the PCD on STi's, so its best to go by what they look like to be 100 percent.

These will fit:



These won't:

Cheers for that guys. For a minute back there I was thinking PCD was offset doh. Going to have to lay off the red wine when I'm online.
