I am seeing several sets of rims that say JDM STi rims and the pictures look exactly like the US-Spec BBS rims. They seem to fetch a heck of a lot more on eBay is they say JDM.

The JDM BBS wheels are the same as the 05 STi, it says 17x8.0 forged aluminum BBS, not sure about the wheel pattern or offset, but my guess would be they are identical too.

Further translating, I came upon this:

In other words, further improvement of body rigidity, light weight conversion of suspension and enlargement of tire size (17 inch tire specification car), enlargement of wheel PCD (PCD: 100 -> 114.3mm)


So that confirms your wheel bolt pattern. They're 114.3mm, which makes it the same as the 05 :disco:

Thanks

Thats not the offest.. thats the bolt pattern.. But I would assume that the offest of the wheels would be the same.

Yeah my bad... bolt pattern :D

I thought JDM STi wheels were these:

And the JDM STi spec-c got the BBS. Which are the same as regular USDM STi. I guess you can call your USDM STi wheels "JDM STi BBS wheels" because they techincally are.... :huh:

Thats tricky...but ill remember it if I need to sell some USDM STi wheels :D
