Does anyone know where to get these rims? I have been drooling over these rims for the past year, and I they are difficult to find. I like them because they are uncommon, simple and not 5 spoke...

More pictures can be found at (http://www.prodrive-japan.com/products/).

Any Prodrive parts dealer in the US will have them. They are about $600 each though. They are abosolutely bombproof. They are super light and super strong.

www.prodriveamerica.com

Go there. They have a dealer list.

No but people in the Subaru community have hit potholes and other things and broken suspension before they broke the wheels.

They are marketed at Subarus so I doubt you wll see a set here. They will fit as they have the same bolt patern and offset.

www.prodrive.com

They still have them listed. Also, Prodrive is a British company. So everything gets shiped from the UK.

I would contact Subaru of Dallas since they are on the dealer list and you are in Tx. They may have a set on hand.

i have emailed two different prodrive vendors in the US and they tried contacted the prodrive main headquarters with no luck. Prodrive doesnt seem to respond to my emails or those of their distributors...It has a been a month or so...It's like they dont want to sell them...useless

Not to hi-jack, but prodrive makes another hot wheel for the 8, as seen in my quick and dirty photochop here....i may have seen them on a car in Irvine somewhere...

I just want a set of the GC-10Es 18x8.5 all around in british black. I know that 34mm fits in the front which means it has to fit in the back right?. The prodrive site recommends the 9.5 in the back for the newer GC-10Gs but I want to stay the same size all around. I dont have a big break kit so it should clear. .

Lemme know BigO....

So you want...
GC-10Es
18X8.5+34 - FRONT
18X9.5+34 - REAR

If your car is dropped you MAY have to roll your rear fenders a bit. You will probably be ok though.

Anyway... heres there contact info. Give them a ring, and see what they can do. I'm sure they can get them... and it seems like ProDrive is a fairly inexpensive rim...

I dont think they have them in stock, and the person who does the ordering is out for a while. I would call in about a week and a half.

those prices are for the lesser cast versions, not the forged ones...

I might have this backwards, but 04 sti is 5x100 while 05-06 are 5x114.3
So dont go buying some oem 04 sti's bbs rims to put on your 8!

I would like 18X8.5 +34 all around. The rims I want are forged as well. BigO, you must be rich bc these rims are expensive in my book.... :SHOCKED:

Im going to have to do a little custom work on the front bumper to make it look like the concept 8, but I think I can pull it off, the AutoExe sideskirts are the least obnoxiuos/low.
