I finally got my final box from Japan for the last JDM/UK 17 rims.
So now we have:
5 Uk/JDM bronze 17 x7s
5 UK/JDM silver 17x7s
1 set 02 WRX wheels
1 set chrome 01 RS 6 spokes
1 set silver 01 RS 6 spokes
1 set gunmetal 99 rs 5 spokes
1 set JDM gold A-line wheels ( STI limited)
1 set silver STI wheels 5x114.3
Now I need to sell a set or two.

How much for the set of RS 6 spokes? (no tires mounted right?)

I will be selling one set of the six spokes and a set of the 02 wrx wheels soon.
( the chrome six spokes are being blasted and painted to remove the chrome plating)
The WRX wheels are available now for $200 locally. Pics available.

If you come across a set of '04 STi wheels as well, let me know. I have a set of the RS 6-spokes now, but I would like to have a warm weather set & a cold weather set.

Can I see pics of the chrome RS 6-spokes? I'm curious to see how they look.
Also, I'd like to see the STI Lim A-lines.
Purely for curiosity's sake. Thanks!

Sadly, one of the RS chrome rims is flaking bad, that is why we are removing the plating.

What's the weight difference on the 5x100 STi wheels vs. the RS 6-spoke wheels (with tires)? I favor the 16" purely for weight savings on rotational mass.

the STi BBS's weigh 16lbs a piece without tires.. which really isn't that bad considering their size 17x7.5
*edit-correct sizes for '04 STi wheels

What would the weight be on the 16x7 RS wheels?

the 16x7, 6 spoke RS wheels weigh 16.5lbs.. the BBS's are lighter! win! lol

Wow, really?? .5 lbs lighter by going with 17" wheels, lower profile tire for better grip & they clear Brembos???
Hmmmmmm...!! This may be a great option in the near future.
BTW, where did you locate the weight of the wheels?

Thanks for the link to the pic of the wheel. BTW, who's Impreza P1 clone is that in your albums? Seeing that car makes me badly want a P1 lip for my RS track car.
