Default I have bought a ringer...

Soo I have a 2004 plate JDM widetrack sti with the 5x114.3 hubs, apparently this is impossible so I'm guessing they got it wrong somewhere with the import documents.

could someone please tell me what year my car actually is?

vin number is GDB-029236

Much love

It is definitely 5x114.3 as i have tried my other 5x114 wheels on it.

i know for a fact it is full widetrack as it has the new dash,dccd,hubs etc. just wondering how i can tell what year the car actually is from the vin number as it should not be on an 04 plate

JDM's are usually one year in front of UK models.

someone may have changed them or it could just be a dealer pre registered one, I wouldn't worry about it.

My Spec C was a MY05 registered in Japan in Sep 2004, so was a 04 plate, nothing unusual about it mate.
