I'll post a link when I get home but the specs, model #, even pictures are the same as sonic tuning site. So they are either the same or an exact copy.

 

In my experience, exact copies are anything but exact.

Ok, sounds good. It's possible they are Sonic Tunings wheels, and if they are, we'd get same or better pricing going direct outside of ebay without a doubt.

 

It's just that I couldn't find anything except the Stern's, which are similar but still visibly different. However, some vendors restrict availability of their items based on region and I'm accessing ebay from Canada so it's possible I'm not getting the same listings you see.

I think he is thinking of these. Which are DEFINITELY not the same as the Sonic Tuning wheels.

OOOHHH, the ST120's. I thought you said ST8's

 

Those definitely are the same wheels. And under $600 shipped. Wow.

I think the seller is Sonic Tuning, or one of their employees, Jose.

 

If you check the feedback, it's not bad, he's only got one negative out of 60 which drops the %. And it was for a center cap issue, looks like full refund was issued.

 

If you want to go the ebay route, I wouldn't sweat it. I'm sure you could get the same pricing if you wanted to buy off ebay as well.

 

I'm quite positive if you're buying one of the 'Subaru' listings, it will be 56.1 hub bore but I'd confirm it just to be sure.

Just an fyi these wheels are on ebay for a few bucks less.Looks like they only have the 18's listed though. I'm happy to hear that they're not bad wheels. I saw the st120's awhile back but had reservations about buying them. I may pull the trigger now.

 

There's a set of the ST120s for sale on Nasioc right now, $450... not sure what color you're thinking about getting.

did you get a chance to drop by?

 

if so, do their wheels seem legit, any price difference at their location?

Their wheels were very legit. They looked way better in person than they do in pictures.

 

I talked to one of the guys there for a while, and hopefully they'll become a vendor here. They have been considering getting a bit more into the Subaru market and offering some of their other wheels in Subaru fitment.

 

They'll begin at the 18" diameter, and then might consider some 17" wheels if interest is high.

 

If they make the ST160's in 17x8 with a 45ish offset, that is definitely the wheel I will run. It looks awesome.

So, I pulled the pin on 18x8.5 ET42 Sonic Tuning ST8 wheels (LM reps) in the gunmetal finish. :)

 

I'll be mounting 225/40/18 Pirelli PZero Nero All Seasons on them - should have them installed within a couple of weeks. Sold my 17x8 Drag DR-38 wheels last night, on my snows for the interim... :spin:
