Its the same as the '01/'02 WRX.

Team Dynamic Pro Race 1 wheels fit and are light, plus don't cost the earth, check out www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk.

Hope that helps, Alex

I *think* the offset should be between 45-48 - they should have access to a wheel fitment bible (as it were) - so if you specify for '02 Impreza WRX/GX fitment they should send you the right ones.

Someone else must know of the top of their head though - I'm surprised more people haven't answered.

Thanks, the 17" wheels i have been offered are brand new with tyres for only £370 for 4 which is very cheap and is also why i am very worried. What do you think?

Thats sounds far too cheap for 17"s with tyres.

The concern I would have is what happens if they don't fit, can you return them easily - what will the aftersales service be like?

You should be able to ring your local subaru dealer and they should be able to give you the proper off-set details.

Also, if its a generic alloy, it should be supplied with some sort of spacer specifc to the Impreza, this spacer (spigot) will ensure the alloy centres correctly on the hub, before you do the nuts up. From what I understand the diametre of the whole is 56.1mm in the spigot..

What mail order company are you dealing with? Perhaps someone else has had experience with them and could comment?

It was a contact off ebay the exact email follows:

-----------------------------------------------------

Hello Andrew,
I have one SET OF 4 TEAM DYNAMICS 'DIABLO' 17'' ALLOYS.
THEY ARE FITTED WITH 215/45/17 LOW PROFILE TYRES WHICH HAVE EXCELLENT TREAD DEPTH(BRAND NEW IN ORIGINAL BOX).
The price for this set is 350 GBP.
In this price the shipping and handling are included.
tell me if you want to enjoy this set until Xmas.
If your answere is YES send me your full name and address so i can be able to contact UPS service and arange the delivery.
By the way you have one picture attached.
Take a look.

-------------------------------------------------------

Further emails give details of a company in london who he works for but no names, the price is amazing but maybe to amazing i get the feeling he is steeling these from his place of work!

Thanks for your help i may phone subaru and ask the same question might be worth asking to collect them myself so i can check him and the wheels out first even though it is a bit of a distance.

Personally, I would pay the extra and get it from a reputable source - but then I'm an untrusting b*gger!

Good luck what ever you decide. Aren't diablos normally about 800-900 with tyres on 17"s from a distributor?

If it's genuine.. please put me down for 20 sets!!!

The offset for an 01 .. factory wheels are 50ish all around depending on the style, so anything@ 45-53 and 7-8.5 inches wide will fit.

Only one to watch are the Sti brembos.. not many wheels fit straight over due to the bulk of the caliper.

Please call if we can help

Cheers
