17" OEM wheels for WRX shipped to US?

megatron · 02-24-2001, 11:12 PM

Does anyone know of a good dealer from which I might be able to upgrade my 16" stock WRX rims with the 17" OEMs that are not available in the US? I assume they are available in Canada. Also, anyone have any pricing or weight info on them?

THanks,
Andy

are you talking about the 17" BBS rims? i think you guys in the states get them as a dealer option too. if not then go to www.subaru.ca and look up dealers and give any one of them a call.

A while back I was reading a thread about JC Sports selling these Euro 17" (legacy?) take offs which looked a lot like the Euro 17" ones on the new WRX. But I think I remember reading that the ones JC had would not clear the 4-pots, so they may actually be different, but may work to your liking?

Actually those ones will clear 4 pots b/c those were Legacy GT-B take-offs. The GT-B has the same calipers as the 22B.
