The unofficial STX wheel thread

[Big Sky WRX]

I'm starting to look at 17x8 wheels and figured I'd pass on what I've gleamed thus far- approx weights/prices/offsets

I've kind of cut things off at ~ 17 lbs

In no particular order

5Zigen FN 01RC ~ price $200, et 48, 17 lbs



Motegi Traklite ~ price $275, et 45, 14.5 lbs



Weds TC105N ~ price $375, et 42, 14.8 lbs



Kosei K1 TS ~ price $240, et 45, 15.5 lbs



Enkei RS+M ~ price $280, et 45, 16.0 lbs



Enkei RPF1 ~ price $240, et 45, 15.5 lbs



OZ Racing Ultraleggera ~ price $265, et 48, 17.4 lbs



SSR CS ~ price $400, et 49, 15.0 lbs



will be adding a some of Volk's offerings soon

if anyone knows of any other wheels- 17x8 in the 17ish under range LMK

[Big Sky WRX]

Volk CE 28N ~ price $550, et 44, 14 lbs



Enkei ES Tarmac 17x8, et45, 15.3 lbs $priceless (no longer made in 17x8



Enkei RC-T4 17x8, et 48, 16.9 lbs, price ~$315

Motegi Traklite or Volk's (expensive ) Can't overlook the weight difference from the others. I am surprised the OZ's were in the ~17ish range; thought they would be lighter.

Will that fit the wagon with the rear fenders rolled?

[Big Sky WRX]

I think so- most of the offsets are in the mid to upper 40's so that puts the wheel a little outboard (offsets some worry on inboard rubbing) over stock. With fenders rolled, combined w/ a shorter tire (the 235/40/17 is roughly .5" shorter than stock), firmer rear springs and "decent" neg camber (-1.5ish) - it should work

Enkei ES-Tarmac, 17x8, +45, same weight as the RPF1's

You might be able to get em from Rallispec.

I got a set of those ^^^



I'd be partial to a set of Enkei's.

With some light fender rolling, my Enkei Tarmacs 17x8 +45 and Flaken RT-615 235/40/17 fit just fine even with -1.0 neg camber in the rear.

[Big Sky WRX]

Sadly the 17x8 Tarmacs are no longer made (some 15/16" sizes still)

They were replaced w/ another wheel (RC-T4), but about 2 lbs heavier

If you get sick of the wheels let me know

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

tire choice to wrap these?

tire choice to wrap these?

Not sure as I have plenty of time to think it over. Likely the RT615.
