ion Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 My buddy has an 04' STi and he is thinking about getting rid of his rims. I know the 04's will fit the LGTs - but I have not seen any pics. Does anyone have a picture of a LGT (pref. black) wih the STi rims? I tried searching and could not find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolesun Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Just make sure it's an '04 STi and not an '05 cause the '05s are 5x114.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YBNormal07 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just a word of advice. The STi rims are a PITA to clean. Speaking from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydude Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Not if your using a power washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
924 turbo Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Wow the STI wheels look REALLLLLLY boring on the LGT! I much preffer the mesh style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbi012 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 here's my friend's LGT with sti wheels. hope he doesnt mind me posting these. http://img299.echo.cx/img299/7882/pimpcar4xz.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBNormal07 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Try some wheel wax. Wheel wax, power washer, etc. I tried everything. Of course, the STi pads dust 1000 times worse than LGT pads, so that is partially to blame. Basically though, each spoke take 3 wipes to get clean, 1 for each side and 1 for the center channel. They do look good though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBNormal07 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 here's my friend's LGT with sti wheels. hope he doesnt mind me posting these. Nice wheels, but I believe they are Prodrive P-1 wheels. Definitely not stock USDM or JDM STi wheels. Maybe Australia?...but I thought they got the JDM wheels also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 The more I think about it - the more I may just go with Prodrive P-1's in anthricite. Just not sure if I want to go to 18's or stay with 17's. I keep going back and forth. Do 18's make the ride too rough/stiff? Just curious...I plan only to run one set all year long. And I already have the tire picked out (Pirelli's). So what do you all think? STi rims (gold/silver) 17" Prodrive P-1s (anthricite) 17" Prodrive P-1s (anthricite) 18" The only advantage to the STi rims would be it is coming from a friend, so I could probably get them pretty cheap (but they would be the gold finish).

YBNormal07 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 The 3 pics above (STi, sedan, and wagon) are either P-1s or knockoffs. I like the P-1s better than the STi rims, just because the clean up easier, and the finish is a bit smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abakja1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Now,..if we can find a WRX or other that have our stock rims on their car,..Anyone post or photoshop pics,.. Im trying to sell my rims and this pic might help,...some reluctance though as our stock tire size is a little smaller at 215mm width compared to 225smm,..but still a good deal for new 17" rims with tires at 500 miles,.. Was looking to get $700-$800 to pay some bills,..this too much to ask?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Was looking to get $700-$800 to pay some bills,..this too much to ask?? That's pretty high for us in the contiguous 48. But, you are in Hawaii, right? Could be a fair price given that shipping costs pretty much rule out most mainland-to-Hawaii classified deals.

franklin Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Wow the STI wheels look REALLLLLLY boring on the LGT! I much preffer the mesh style. Agree. Nice wheels but on our cars the look is boring. IMO does not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 From the links above, I want this car so bad I can taste it. THIS is what the 06 USDM Spec B should be. 4 or 500 of this. I would buy it in a heartbeat. http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~tn-guts/img132.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feesh Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 agreed!!!! It is my goal to build my own though. I need a jdm bumper in a bad way. BTW, nice avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks for the complement. The bodywork is probably easier and cheaper than the paint. I want that color REALLY REALLY BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
