ram7884 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 noob question, why can you just use adapters to fit 05-06 bbs instead of only buying a set from an 04? I did this and in all honesty it's easier to just run the 5x100 setup. You have to roll the fenders and with the offset and the adapters they poke out quite a bit. If you want a set of the 5x114s I know where you can find a set Sold the adapters to a friend for his vw but I still have the wheels. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotsquat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Picked these black powdercoated BBS's off of craigslist this week. They are 8 pounds lighter EACH than the stock wheels! What a huge difference in the handling. Now if only that Whiteline RSB would hurry up and get here... http://i47.tinypic.com/2ahidxw.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/260d53r.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Looking nice.. I can't wait to put mine on, so much lighter then my current setup.

kanazteck261 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 How much is too much to spend on 04 bbs wheels? I am looking for a set for winter. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred_Buchi Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 A year ago you could find a set for 500 bucks. Now days I would expect to pay 800-1000 without tires for a set in good condition. Which is why I won't be buying a set anymore haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibr_adam09 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I got mine for 800 with tires. MINT! but from a friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEBERG1 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 True^ I bought a set in good shape for 700 about 2 years ago and then sold them to a buddy with 1 season used snow tires mounted for 950, and now I regret that very much as I cannot find a clean set like the ones I had for that price now :-( I guess I'll be getting some Rota SDR for my winters.

BoozeRS05 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I bought an 04 STi and them some used Rota g-Forces as my summer setup, then sold the car with the Rota's EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcheung97 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 These just arrived earlier this week for my 05 OBP 5MT. I also purchased lugnuts from Drop Engineering. My setup is Koni Yellow with stock springs. The tires are Hankook Ventus V12 235/45/17. Not the best pic, but the car was in the garage already. I really like this combination.

mikeyvt Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 So I have a chance at either gold or silver bbs. My wagon is GRP. Can't decide on color. Only other thing is that both sets have been plasti dipped. I heard it comes off pretty easy. Anyone dealt with this? Anyone have any pics of GRP with goldies on there?

Moderators BarManBean Posted September 25, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2012 Why not just have the owner peel the plastidip off? If they are actually "just" plastidipped and are in good condition underneath, he should have no problem doing that since he should be able to get more money for them if they are original finish and are in good condition.

mikeyvt Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So picked up some sti wheels. Kid said they were plasti dipped. Only 3 wheels were and they were painted over. I need to get them sand blasted and resprayed. Any suggestion on color? My car is GRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Correct on T2's but no gold... Full Royal Steel Grey (painted light grey but with polished face). Unfortunately this wheel is discontinued. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly, those things are in amazing shape I've had good luck with finding a couple sets, the silver set I have on now were garage queens that sat inside for a good 5 years from what I gather.

compsurge Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Your silver set is unimaginable. I think they came off with 1400 miles and never saw light again. Maybe the PO hated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
