If they are genuine Subaru WRX wheels circ 2001-3?? They shoud have stamped on the inside spoke what size they are, something like eg 17*7.5et53. they also would not Clear a STi Brembo brakes.

IMHO

Tony

ps what are they worth?? 4 wheels and 1 Wan King tyre, Sorry not a great deal probally get more off a scrappy for the Aluminium

they would clear sti brembo's as for what they are worth you can get a decent set off ebay for around £250 so i would not pay more than £100 for them as they look pritty rough

The aren't bug or newage STI alloys as the spokes were parallel on those and didn't have the 'stepping' on the inner rim that these have got.

Not sure what they are, but they ain't too pretty.

I suppose they are worth 70 quid. The polishing you could do yourself, but I don't like they way they are personally.
I doubt if anyones got a pic on car, as they are a bit of a one off.

Bugs don't have the little notches on the parts between the spokes, blobs do.

scratch that, just go'ogled some bugs and they seem to have the notches, although I swear I have seen them without the notches before.

I have to disagree.

There was only one type of Newage STi rim, this one, just in different colours.
The one you are talking about without the notches is a WRX, pictured further up.

EDIT: Just saw your edited after I finshed typing
