Just need to know if they will clear Brembos...waiting to hear back from Inovit on that one, but seller says not...can't see why though as they don't look too dished and they are ET42 rather than ET53 (although ET still confuses me).
They're like this but gloss black not machined on the spokes:

Aargh...emailed Inovit and they say that the Volution wheels I had my eye on HAVE been made in the 114pcd size

anyways you will probaly have to run a spacer on them to clear the brembos tim . they also do the dtm wheel which is similar to the above .

The OEM wheels have a huge cavity/dish on the inside face to clear the calipers and any wheel that tends to being flat or dished inwards will not fit.
I worked out I would need something like a 40mm spacer...and since the reduced offset of the wheel I liked plus the increased width would already cause it to stick out 15mm more, it's just not an option.
So, given up, ordered 17" tyres and will get the STi wheels refurbed in gloss black

Took a good look at the OEM STi wheel and the Brembos today and realise why it's such a problem!!

Have been debating whether to go with my original plan of gloss black (on a de-scooped, de-spoilered obsidian black STi) or whether to have the rim lip painted in STi pink (red's SOOO yesterday 
)
Any opinions?
Also, while looking around for pictures of black wheels on black cars, I came across a link to this offset calculator - wish I'd thought to seek out such a thing when agonising over new wheels earlier

Please can you PM me a price for a set of 4 Rota GTR in black with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's on.
My car is a WRX03 with coil over suspension. It isn't too low and the springs were the hardest ones available, so it doesn't roll too much.

Mags what size tyres on that machine of yours?
Would a 18x9.5 et35 wheel fit on a classic scoob? with the ABW arches? plus what width tyres i do prefer a 35mm profile tyre though.
A price on the wheels would be nice if you can help bud? Will give me an idea as to how much i need to save.
