Besides OEM and SSR comps, what are the other options for wheels for B stock?

 

Kazera KZ-T
18x7.5
$149


Kosei Double Racer
18x7.5
$219


Kosei Racer
18x7.5
$219

I bought the Kazera Its about as light as stock. Go to www.tirerack.com to see these on your car. Thats where I ordered them from.

None of those wheels are legal for Stock. They must be the same as OEM size (18"x8") with the same offset +/- 0.25".

 

The last time I talked to Brian Goodwin, he said they were importing the Enkei RPF? in 18x8 with a 45mm offset. They would be a pound or so heavier than the SSR's but $100 cheaper.

 

Hopefully now that the '05 STI has 5x114.3 and 50+mm offset, we will start seeing more wheels that have close to the same specs as the OEMs.

 

THe center bore is smaller on the STi than the RX-8 and broing sometimes isn't the best idea.

 

$150 18x8/40 supposed to be light


$374 18x8/35

 

If the stock offset is 50mm then the replacements would have to be between 44mm and 56mm. Preferably something between 44 and 50.

 

forgot about the .25 inch :o

 

And you can also use spacers or machine the wheel to bring it into the legal offset range. Whether one would want to do so with a paritcular wheel is a different question.
