Titanium

These wheels are actually made out of titanium. They only come in 5x114.3, so you 05+ STi owners can get these for a mere $2500-4000 per wheel And you thought HREs were baller...

Not sure about the weight, but considering a full titanium turbo back weighs 8 lbs, I'm sure these wheels are pretty damn light.

Only 18" & 19"? Were these the first production (not custom) titanium wheels available for the WRX?

I never said they were for a WRX They only come in 5x114.3 so they won't fit a WRX anyway, only 05+ STis.

Allow me to restate the question: Are these the first commercially available titanium wheels for any Subaru? I know the WRX is 5x100.
