    -Looking for 17" variety that will fit my 05 LGT

    -04 bbs sti and superleggara are at the top of the list.

    -Looking for 5x100 wheels, i would prefer 17x8 but would consider something a little narrower also.
    Prefer something lighter, but i'm open to others.

    Thanks

    I might be switching mine out, were you looking for ones with tires as well? Currently have Pilot Sport A/S tires with good tread left.

    More tread than I thought, I'll be keeping these a while longer. Sorry for wasting your time.

    I hadn't either, came off a friends wrx. Something that can be driven on for a bit that'll fit on most subarus for people not wanting the oversize snow tires

    What are your goals? Price point? Unless you are going full on race car, weight will make little difference. A couple of pounds will not be noticed. Tire Rack has lots of options for new in what you are looking for, some of the sale items are under $100 per wheel. Hard to find used for that price.

    I don't really have any goals. Just looking for a nice summer setup. Looking to spend around 1k with tires but i can wiggle that if something catches my eye. @tangledupinblu those look nice i think i need something with a little more offset. I have an 05 Legacy and i think i need to be in the mid 40s for offset

    Those will fit about perfect. Roll with a 225/40/18 and you shouldn't have any rub as long as you're not some stancetard douche.

    I think a 17x9 would have the same clearance issues as 18x8?

    I have a set of 04 BBS wheels if you are still looking. They are gold but it is a aftermarket powdercoat. They have tired Federal 595 RS-R mounted on them. I plan on digging them out this weekend and posting them for sale. pm me if interested.

    Not intending a thread jack, but following this thread as I'd like to upgrade my summer setup as well.
    What is considered "light"? I've got stock 16" WRX wheels ('03) and some 18's for summer. Most likely some "cheap" wheels that I picked up used. Don't mind the look at all, but I can definitely tell a difference in weight based on the acceleration and overall feel of the car. Definitely not looking for race car status, but would like to get the most out of it. First car I've ever bought "aftermarket" wheels for. And I'm a cheap skate.

    You're probably not feeling the weight. More likely the diameter and width. Going from 16's(winters) to 17's(summers) is noticeable in the steering wheel for me.

    I have a set of drag dr31 with falken ziex 215/50r17 and the lug nuts you would need. I'd let them go for 750$.

    I've got a set of Kosei K1 TS 17x8's on the WRX right now, with 215-45-17 tires. All in decent condition, but not perfect. Think I'd like $700, but I'd have to get some new rims beforehand (they're my summer rims). I also have centering rings and generic locking lug nuts.

    Pic of the same color rim, but not my pic. I have no center caps.

    Kosi offers these up in the 17x8 in either a 35 or 45 offset. Judging by the picture with only a 215 series tire it is probably a 35 offset.

    If they were 45 I'd get them for track wheels, 35 is too much pokeypoke.

    I'm just guessing by the stance of them on the fender. With only a 215 tire they appear to be sticking out a bit. The only way to be sure is to look. They should have a stamp on the inside of the wheel somewhere.

    I'll see if I can pull one off at work on Wednesday. Like I said, they are marked on the hub face, which you can't check unless the wheel is pulled off. They were purchased for my wife's Corolla, so +35 is what I would have aimed for. She didn't like them so I took them. Tires are Toyo Proxxes A20's, Scion TC pull-offs. Probably half-tread left.

    Example of normal Kosei markings:

    I have a set of 04 STI wheels (silver, painted black) that I would be willing to part with if you give me some time to get new wheels. They are in good condition, a few small chips and scratches nothing out of the ordinary. $1000
