And then offer the WRONG offset. Yeah you offer other offsets in the WRONG bolt pattern. Do you hate me? Why?!!?

Are you 5x100?

Why not go after Toyota/Subaru for using the dreaded 5x100 bolt pattern? Most of the five-lug Japanese stuff I can think of is 5x114.3—then you'd have a number of offset options in a 17", right?

Yup, 5x100. They could have gone 5x114 but noooo.

Yup, a 35mm offset would be perfect!

The few searches I have done for wheels in the summer have been pretty disappointing for my 5x100's

Came here to say its time for a hub swap!

What is your budget. Rotas do a lot of 5x100 wheels, so does weds and Gram lights.

Haven't really set a budget yet. I was actually thinking of just trying to get some secondhand stuff as of the moment. But after the winter I will have a better idea of where I am sitting money wise.

I was also looking at second hand stuff. You can get a set of weds with some top notch tires for like 1800, but most people only do pick up and don't ship. Time to go on craigslist.

SO EXPENSIVE!!!! At that point, I could buy a different set with the perfect offset and size!

true that, Can you scavage hubs from the STI's that were 5x114.3?

Maybe, I haven't really been looking around for wheel hub options(cause so many manufacturers are deciding to make 5x100 options) but I might start looking around.

I suppose it's only worth it if you're dead set on getting a particular rim style. or if someone sponsored you for rims but didn't make them in the size you wanted.

At least you aren't using the elusive 5x108 bolt pattern that seems to only be on Fords, Volvos, and Ferraris. The best I can hope for is either legit ST wheels/knock-offs or cheap and heavy wheels from Tire Rack. At least they make neon green and bright orange Sparcos in the correct size, but 19 lbs for a 17x7.5 wheel isn't so great.

you think 5X100 is bad imagine having 5X108! Fuck I would like to find the guy who thought 5X108 would be a good idea and give him a good talking too.

why can't they standardize the bolt patterns to 5x114?

I honestly don't know. It would make life so much easier for wheel makers and the buyers as well.

for me it's either getting wheels custom made or I have to get them re-drilled. there is only about 4 wheels that fit my car and they are too narrow and too heavy for my taste.

I'm telling you man. Just walk away. Enkei never fails to disappoint.

I might go with Rota, tons of people use them to race, so what the hell, why not.
