I really would like to get some new wheels for my car but don't feel like paying a whole bunch. So I figured some WRX wheels might be a good choice. But I'm not convinced on how they would look on my car. So anyone got some pics?

i used to have these MY02 STI rims on my BG5. Not sure these are the wheels you were after but hopefully it helps :wink:

Those look really nice. What size are they?
And that lowered one on the wrx wheels looks awesome too. I just might have to get some. There's a set on craigslist right now for 200. 3 in good condition one with slight curbage. Idk about the tires though.

if thats the same post i saw, one of the rims is bent. I went and looked at a set and it was the same story 3 good, one curbed, and that one was slightly bent. Have em checked out before you buy em. 200 is a good price for even just the 3

Well that's discouraging. But what am I going to do with just 3? Finding one more would be tough

I picked up a full set of eagle 17x7's for $200 with 3 good tires (useless) so I'm tossing those and getting the new ones put on today. It's running 205-45-17 tires. I'm stoked. Just know that if you buy wheels w/o tires you had better be prepared to spend $400-$700 for a full set of good tires.

silverline automotive sells them individually. also there is a junk yard in tigard that usually has some as well as foster auto parts. they have rims like 50 bucks for 1. it also might not be the same guy, just make sure that you check them, make sure they roll straight and dont go off to the side

those STI wheels were 17 x 7.5
i reckon those or the regular wrx look really good on gen 2's!

I really didn't want to go bigger then 16's. So I'll probably end up with some wrx wheels. If I keep looking I'll find some for a good price. It's not really important that I do it right away

Keep in mind that WRX wheels are the same diameter/width (and offset?) as the 2nd gen GT wheels, as well as any of the alloys on the 3rd gens. So, if you aren't totally set on the style of the WRX wheels, you could pick up some snowflakes for probably less money and have essentially the same function.

The second set of pics are UK17's, AKA, the 17" version of the 2002-2005 WRX wheels, which were only 16".
I have a few pics of my 1998 LGT wagon with some WRX wheels on it if you're interested.

Weren't the wheels in the 2nd set of pics also used on the 3rd gen GT-B?
