bola b1 wheels
 
hi guys
anyone got these fitted to a sti hatch 18x8.5 do they clear the calipers ok?

scoobyboy1 05 January 2016 09:33 PM

Probably find they will need a spacer on the front wheels to clear the Brembo's!!:thumb:

well **** dat idea so

scoobyboy1 05 January 2016 10:15 PM

The wheels are the same design as the Rota Grids, the spoke curves in and just catches on the caliper, Only way round it is a 5mm spacer unfortunately.:(

i dont want use spacers in case handling suffers

scoobyboy1 06 January 2016 04:23 PM

I used spacers on my hawk STi with Rota grids, I dont do trackdays or really hard driving, If I was doing either of those 2 then I would think twice about fitting them!!!

What other wheels have you seen??? What do you think of the 2012 hatch STi wheels like below??

Good choice! I was in the same situation and like you, decided on a refurbishment and am so pleased with the end result. The STI wheels are quality so made sense to keep/refurb them.
