The STi ones have slightly splayed open spokes compared to the parallel WRX ones. They also have two little indentations between each pair of spokes....


STi

I think the STi are 7.5J to the WRX 7J too

Yes second one to go now...

When first one went took it back to place that re-furbed em and he's been doin em for 20 years and never seen that happen,so don't know if it's a dodgy batch i've got,although they did use to be my track wheels ...

And did give them sum hammer...

Just tryin to source another one at moment, all wanting 80 - 90 quid though for one,,,,only paid 48 quid for other one....

And hassle of taking tyre off cracked one and putting it back on new one and gettin it sprayed....



Cheers for concerns though guys...

Cheers Dave for info on Sti wheel as well mate, new they were slightly different.....
