I was wondering if anybody had noticed weather all of the STI BBS's had STI on them or if some do not? I have a wheel that seems to be genuine BBS that I purchased of another member here, that does not have the STI's molded in? Frogy
I have seen some pictures of rims claimed to be 5x100 (04 fitment) that had the STI's molded into them. My silver 04 wheel does not, those pictures must be of the 5x114's and not the right or actual wheel.
I have some 07 STI BBSs and they have STI molded into the wheel and have the pink STI centers..... I here these caps are highly wanted.
04 came with BBS center caps, 05+ came with STi center caps. As for something being pressed into the rim, I'm not sure but I think it's similar.
07 was the first year for sti center caps. https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=1144
04 STI rims do not have the STI logo cast into the wheel. 05-07 (5x114 fitment) do. 04-06 STI wheels have "BBS" center caps (04 have a black background, 05-06 have carbon fiber background). 07 STI wheels have "STI" center caps.
I'm anal-retentive, so I just started comparing differences between the different years. I've also seen the different models up close in person.
