From: Just beyond the limits of adhesion
Nothing to do with style, it's the spacing of the holes for the nuts. On STi 05 onwards they fitted bigger hubs with larger wheel bearings which required the PCD to be opened up. IIRC it went from 5x100 to 5x114.3, but the WRX remains unchanged.
Wheel Information.
If you want to change the wheels on your car, you need to take some things into consideration.
Number of bolts or studs
It goes without saying that you can't fit a 4-bolt wheel onto a 5-bolt wheel hub. Sounds obvious, but people have been known to fork out for an expensive set of wheels only to find they've got the wrong number of mounting holes.
Pitch Circle Diameter
Right. So you know how many holes there are. Now you need to know the PCD, or Pitch Circle Diameter. This is the diameter of the invisible circle formed by scribing a circle that passes through the centre point of each mounting hole. If you've got the right number of holes, but they're the wrong spacing, again the wheel just won't fit.
