I was told when I bought it it was a 17ich WR1 wheel
I currently have this on EBAY as it has a nearly new RE070 on it as well.

I'm assuming you are going to post a link or a photo?

That's a WRX wheel I think, not a WR1 wheel. Wr1s come with PFF7s.

Thats an STi wheel. Well the model is what comes on the UK STi's, but usually in gold.

Those STi Wheels are what were fitted on the WR1 when they came here before the PFF7 s were fitted
Were Standard fit on the Euro Solberg edition

The scallops between the spokes mean it's an STI alloy !
225/45/17 is another clue.
I'd have it if you were closer !

I wonder why the WRX and STi alloys look so similar on the "older" newages? 06 onwards they look totally different and the STi ones much better IMHO.

On the "older newage" the UK WRX had paralell spokes in silver whilst the UK STi had slightly divergent spokes in gold
for some reason on the later "newage STi" the divergent spokes and the very hard to clean scollops appeared.
Probably worth about £35.........

Yep agree there. they were the wheels fitted to the WR1's BEFORE the PFF7's were fitted. there were loads about. Kin Quick bought a set for track use.

Ahh so it is a WR1 wheel then? I thought the tyre would have been worth more than the wheel.
