Default 02 WRX Wheel info

Can anyone tell me what rim widths these wheels came in?

I know they were 5 x 100 PCD ET53 7.5J on when fitted to the STi but was this same rim ever available in gold with a diffrent width (like the regular 7J WRX wheel rim width)?

Sti rim only came in 7.5" width x17", in gold or grey.

WRX ones are all 7", in silver on bugs, grey on blobs and gold on the WRX300.

Hope that helps.

thats an sti rim - 225 width with 53mm offset.

wrx rims are 215 with a 48mm offset

had both on my classic.

other differences between the 2 are that the sti spokes are flared whereas the wrx sopkes are parallel. the sti wheels also have the little triangular patterns around the edge, the wrx wheels don't.

As above, the 2 wheels are very different if you sit them side by side, design changes are subtle, but IMO the STi wheel looks sooo much better...
