Default Replacement alloy needed what offset?

Hi guys,

Managed to hit a curb quite badly and buckled my alloy
I have been trying to source a replacement but ultimately need to know the correct offset??

My cars a 2003 sti newage

If the offset does differ would there be someway of finding this out off my alloys themselves

Thanks guys

Normally it is cast into the alloy somewhere. ET 55 or something like that.

Standard alloy or aftermarket?

If standard the PCD will be more important as later models have a PCD of 114.3x5, yours should be 100x5.

Also have you simply taken your wheel off, normally the offset is stamped on the rear, normally just two numbers on a spoke!

Cheers for that I have contacted the manufacturer and they say they only made 1 standard offset for this wheel so fingers crossed it will be a match!

It tells you on the wheel what offset it is, you may find its ET53, just look, it is in plain sight
