Default STI wheels (2005 on) for sale to ESC

Need to make a bit of room in the garage , so if anyone around Essex is interested in a set of Gold STI wheels and tyres I'm happy to let them go for £170 .Remember these will only fit the STI from 05 onwards with the wider track and PCD of 114, NOT CLASSICS OR WRX unfortunately .They're not mint , but I've seen a lot worse, all have a certain amount of kerbing , the worst is shown in the pics. They come with Vredestein tyres with about 3mm left on the fronts and 4mm on the rears which even though they get good reviews I didn't find them great for my car to be honest. I guess they'll be ideal for a set of winter/ track wheels. Really looking to sell to someone local who wants to collect them as I don't want the hassle of courier etc, I'm located in Mayland (the land of Tiny & the green RS) PM me if you are interested .

Dave

Hi Stu , I went for a brand new set complete with tyres from an 08 STI which didn't cost me much more than a set of new tyres, my personal taste I guess I just didn't really like the gold wheel look any more . I guess it makes it look a bit more like your Spec D when it was standard , also they set off the calipers well I think

external balancing weights perform far better, for less weight, although look unsightly

function over form

I'll bring them, no bother if you don't want to, only I want to put stickers over mine which means grinding off the emblem.
