The unofficial STX wheel thread

[wrx wagone]

Hey JR- did you source a tire/rim replacement set yet?

A new set of wheels are in the works. Tires still need to be determined.

Did you choose your wheels yet or did I just totally miss that in this thread?

PS is there an Auto X in Philly soon? I'm headed to Southern NJ and need to do something fun for a day... /hijack

I have a set of Silver 17x8 Enkei RPF1 wheels on the way.

Philly Region doesn't have anything coming up in the immediate future. However, karting at Mid Atlantic GP is wicked fun.

Sorry to run off topic, but when ya coming up? It's rare when people intentionally visit my neck of the woods.

I just took the plunge and dropped a $1k deposit down on these in 17x8, 5x100 +42. Should have them in January or February.

I just got an email notifying me of the wheels shipping; they will be here next Wednesday. Just in time for winter.

What are the weights on those?

Noice! post up a pic when you get them

weight on the RPF! ia 15.5 lbs

does any1 have RC-T4 wheels with pictures and opinions

[Pzary3233]

The RC-T4 Wheel is the replacement for the ES-Tarmac, however it weights in closer to 17lbs than the old tarmac which was a light wheel.
That was the info that I got from Rallispec.

I kind of have a thing for this wheel if I cannot find 1500 bucks or some ES-Tarmacs


According to Wheelweights.net this wheel weighs in around 15.6 for the 17x7 So a tad more for the 8" wheel....

Though the Forged WedsSport TC105N posted above are VERY nice and weigh in around 14.9lbs.... DROOL!

Will do and I will get the actual weight as well.

I was not expecting them so soon. Aside for the slightly lighter weight than the other wheels in the start of this thread I think they are the best looking. I have not seen forged wheels for that semi-reasonable price.

I think it's a very, very strong wheel (as all of the competition Enkeis are)- little heavier than the Tarmac it replaces, I've seen the weight posted between 16 and 17lbs, in a 17x8 isn't exactly heavy IMO

certainly a good looking wheel

[Pzary3233]

Big Sky, I was told by rallispec that the wheel weights were higher than the ES Tarmac by 2 lbs. Sooo that's right around 16lbs. not bad when you think about it.

Though the WedsSport TC105N is looking mighty good for the sub $400 price range...
heck I spent 350 per wheel on my firebird when the American Racing Torque Thurst II 17x8 Wheels first came out... And they were 22lbs!

I wouldn't be suprised if Dave didn't have a good scale at his shop- you might convince him to throw one on to end the speculation

[Pzary3233]

I'll shoot him an email again... but the thing that I keep coming back to is for about 150 bucks more total I could have a forged 14~ lbs wheel that is forged...

[Big Sky WRX]

I hear ya- don't forget the Motegi's I linked above either- $1000 is too shabby for sub 15 lb 17x8 wheels
