Are those wheels 16 lbs even? Do they come with the tires? Any pics of them on an STI?

16.2 , and yes i do have pics, e-mail me..that price doesnt include tires.

944 turbo guy

I saw a pic of another set of bbs wheels that clear the brembos. I think they were RE- GT or something like that....They looked similar to these but had a polished lip. Any info on those..

thanks tom

Tom ,.I have pictures of alot of BBs wheels, that work with the Brembos, but question remains, will BBs produce them for our market,...?

time will tell,...

Anything in a BBS 17x8, 17x8.5, or 17x9. Love the wheel but want to stay with 17's.

Are you sure Myles?
I first saw them on an sti in Modified mag.

and after searching more

I found this thread
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=508605&highlight=inch+polished+lip

I'm not wild about this vendor, hence me asking you.

Thanks again tom

BBS north america says NO !!

that offset and wheel are not made for the STI.

944 turbo guy

thank you for looking into that for me...i knew i couldnt trust that "other" vendor..:rolleyes:

So are these available in 17's? 8"-9" width?

I guess my request will go unanswered. Looks like Tire Rack will get my business.

sorry , didnt know you replied,...NO these wheels are not available in 17in, and def not in a 9in width. These wheels are only available in 18x8 inch for Subaru.

Sorry if my response wasnt fast enough for you, I do list a website and phone number for immediate response, as I do answer the phone from 0700 east coast to 10pm ,.........
hopefully this answers your question(s) Let me know if you have any other questions.

ps. As far as your question going unanswered,..if you do a search under my personal screen name or my vendor name you'll see that I answer all or any question directed to me, within a very short time. So I'm not sure if your response was really necc. Again, sorry that I didnt respond fast enough for ....you. If you notice, on 95% of all my post I have a phone number , if you search deeper, you'll see that ALL ir not most of my customers feedback is my QUICK response and great customer service. I just delivered a set of these wheels to a customer that lives 2 hrs from me, so why would I on my own thread not respond to you?
Hope that clears up any questions you have about my response time. This isnt meant to be sarcastic , just to clearify how Racecomp Engineering's customer service operates, and how important customers are to me.

Actually my original inquiry was on 3/25 (see above). You answered questions posted after mine but must have missed mine. Not relevent since they are not available in 17's. Although those are the first 18's I have ever considered. Great looking wheel.

.

Do they come in gold? That would look hot on these white cars.

Simply lovely wheels!!!!
What some prices w/ tires? 225/40/18's?

I wish they came in gold, I'd be all over these......

Trey if we come down there and put a set on your car,.you'd be ALL OVER these wheels :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hear ya though,...

I know what you mean though, there is nothing like paint from the factory.

<wonders why IRS is so quick to take money but so slow returning it>

do you have the pics of the wheels on the car up close. can you also take pics upward and right next the the wheel and fender so i can see the distance you have? and any other positions u can put on here so can see it better. i need to see the inner part of the wheel well too so i can determine the distance of wheel and suspension too.

949...are you talking to me or to JDM addict?.....

I cant as I cant keep them on my car, everytime I go to a meet, ot the grocery store someone buys them,.so I some coming now with Michelin Pilot sport CUPS on them, which will be for ME,..

Ok update !!! Yokohama aDVAN 048 :D :D :D :D

Will come today, and I too,will be apart of the Japaneese legacy of lucky drivers who have been able to drive on this imfamous tire !!

I had three choices, Pirelli Corse, Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, or the Yoko Advan 048. I choose the 048 because, I have always wanted this tire, and I had been used to the Yoko 032 , and kinda wanted to see how this tire would feel, and its new in the USA. !!

-----maybe someone could post a picture of the closeup--------------

Hi Myles,

What size 048 are you running and on which wheel?

ADDICT

A 225-40-18, only because of availability and because its one of the widest 225s out there,as most "R" tires cheat a little. Plus its sticky, very sticky, so alot of tire isnt really needed, esp with "R" tires, less weight too, its lighter than the 070 by 5lbs each, yet 1/10 less as wide as a Pirelli Corsa, and Michelin Pilot Cup in 235-40-18. :)

nah it ain't you Myles....looks like that STi is suffering from a high butt and chin...nothing you couldn't fix, Dr. Williams. ;)


-Matt

I'm not worthy of DR. but there was a guy in college named DR. DROP,..........this dude could cut springs on anything and it would turn out perfect. $ 100.00 and welsome to the wonderful world of BUMP-STOP heaven. He was good in the sense that he knew how much to cut, and 95% of the cars were like 1/2-3/4 inch drops, with really no problems,..he later went on to open a shop doing it the right way. Now he offers air suspensions and "Dubs" for SuVs for the stars up in NY. True story. Back in the day example was a Full size Suburban,..dropped like 2 inches, just enough for you to barely look at it like,......" honey?...whats differnt about that Suburban,...?......uhhhhhhh I dont know, whatta ya talkin' about,..? just look at it,...oh, ..its been lowered,..a Suburban..lol,lol...

You gotta remember when I say college I mean like 1985-1989...back in the day,...not like when some of the kids say it, and they mean like 1999,....back when Eibach had like 3 applications,..VW, Honda, and like Escort GT. Anyway, just a trip back down memory lane,.......

I know you Matt being ole skewll, you could appreciate that.

Myles @ RaceComp, what kind of strut/spring setup is on your STi? I've got a white one too, just bent up 2 rims & got paid for them. I'm considering those 18's man.

Subtech707-

I have the stock struts with the pink springs and strut tops.
Look for our special on this combo on my website.
www.racecompengineering.com

Thats sucks about your stock rims, but keep in mind the insurance company will prob give you like $ 700.00 each rim for the stockers. What you do from there is up to you. Hint-hint..some people look here..

And also the same question about 18" silver ssr comps?

I'm ready to buy, just have to have the wheels within 7 days.

No, bbs is working on a "maybe" RE wheel for the 2005. Trust me , when I find out,..I'll post it all over the forum.

thats the question of the year,....you cant loose no matter what direction you go.........really. I just happened to like the BBS in this instance with my car. The volks, you may have a 3 month wait,..but worth it,..the Prodrives.....good wheel, when you can get them. No comment on that statement.

Can you get the BBS RG-R 18" x 7.5" in the diamond black color?

If so how much do you sell them for, and do you offer packages with tires mounted and balanced?

Thank You.

You have e-mail....

so ive been living in a cave for a year (in kuwait/iraq) and i had some wheels lined up to purchase when i returned home next week, yet ive JUST found out that 04 bbs stocks, wont fit my 05 STi. so much for the spare set *d@mn it*

Where'd ya get them JDM addict?

I got them from STi Japan.

Probably for some serious dough too huh? How Much? I found these, but im unsure if theyd fit the wheels i have (factory option mesh BBS). I went on the BBS website and saw their wheel lineup. Alot of different caps. Some cf with the bbs logo, some polished, and one red with gold BBS logo.. I have the black with gold logo now, nice looking, but I was thinkin that red one might be cool with my red car, or the CF ones.
