Default sti wheels on wrx

So I really like the sti BBS wheels, and I think they would look cool on my wrx. But since the bolt pattern is different what would I have to do? Could I get adapters?Where?Or could I buy the BBS from BBS in a 5x100 pattern? I tried looking on their site but its not in English. Thanks for the help!

Buy them used from a 2004 STi. Used w/ tires will range from $800-$1200 depending on condition.

I bought some gold BBS's off a guy that had an 04 STi. I powdercoated them black. I spent way too much money. I'm now going to be selling my black BBS's for some Rota's

what about weight? BBS are forged and only way 16.5 lbs!!! Unsprung weight is the worst kind of weight to add to your car...I personally would go with the BBS...bought a set for my JBP 04 for 1000 w/tires and luving it...

2004 STi Wheels will fit perfect on the regular WRX with 5x100 bolt patterns. Rota's cannot compare to the quality of BBS. Most Rota wheels are copies.
