Mine are now in the country and just waiting for Trousers to give me a call. Then its off to sunny Nottingham to have them fitted ......
Same kinda look as these fellas
Not everyones cup of tea, but i reckon they will look good on this ......with roof vent also
If nothing else it will no longer look like, just another STi

They are Aerospeed crazy 8's in jet black with a thin silver edge rim.......
I have only seen them on one car and thats TSL's zero bodied STi3 from Jap performance car mag a couple of months back....Been waiting for them from TSL for a couple of months but they are here now. Paul just has to test them on a new STi to make sure they will fit and then its off to have them stuck on .....
Hopefully she will be pretty distinctive as I havent seen another car with these on. Maybe not everyones cup of tea but I love the black wheel look

They dont fit on mine coz of the mahoosive brembo's on the MY03 STi's ......dont mean they wont fit on yours though....Give Paul a ring while they are still available....they are gorgeous.
Diablo,
It wasnt as easy as that.. as i said they are a new wheel and not many around, if any in this country...When i was at TSL a couple of weeks ago we tryed loads of styles and half fitted and half didnt. Obvious safety factors have to be taken into consideration and very small spacers can be fitted to compensate for the brakes. It was a matter of waiting for the wheels to arrive and trying them. I'm happy that TSL didnt just slap the wheels on with big spacers and me have an accident 5 miles down the road, or a year later when my wheel bearings go....
Anyway the good news is I have spoken to Paul (TSL) and ive narrowed it down to two types that im gonna have powder coated jet black. Gonna make me mind up today and off we go again...
Another couple of weeks wont kill me, ive waited patiently all this time......
Having a roof vent and new front grill fitted at the same time
