Hey guys, I'm new here
I Have a 2005 Silver tC.
And I have been looking for some rims to get for my car
I have always loved Sti's, and Subaru's in general
And I recently found out I can fit the wheels from an 04 STi on my car
I got this picture of a Silver tC and Photoshop them on
I also tinted the tailights (Like mine) and made the tires look thinner

I know some people have requested this
Here it is. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks

 

Looks great!

 

STI wheels are sexy and high quality stuff:

you can also look for wrx wheels they are 5x100 also, i think up to 2005 or 2007

here is my TC with subaru WRX wheels (dealership upgrade)

 

Dude what kind of wing/spoiler is that on the back? I want one.

 

I agree..
Those rims look really dope
And im diggin ur custom eyelids

 

Nice try...but those are MB Weapons brotato; not 'WRX Wheels'



And whatever dealer you bought them from as a dealership upgrade ripped you off.

Sorry to break the news to you this way. They do look nice, but are definitely not 'WRX Wheels'

 

Well they probably just told him they came off a wrx

 

I hope so, dealers can be very shady sometimes just to earn a buck.

Dealers can also be a wonderful place too; remember to do your research class!

 

to answer your question that would be the Kaminari Spoiler.

 

I thought ALL STi wheels are 5x114 no matter the year?

 

Fortunately for some reason in 2004 they made the bolt pattern 5x100
Lucky us:D

Im a huge wrx fan
So rocking some sti rims would be really dope Imo
Plus you can find them on craigslist for cheap :]

 

Didn't know that '04 was the only or last year for a 5x100 pattern for the STi. I have yet to see a 5x100 STi wheel, all I run into is 5x114, I've thought of it but going with another wheel.

if the offset is between 35-42 then it would fit nice... I got my set from a subie guy which the offset is 48, kinda hates the high offset, finally I did a trade with one guy for a set with ET35 which fit much nicer, but still like to add maybe a 1/4" spacer to it still. double check the ET on those before you get it!

 

04 STi wheels are in high demand since all the regular 5x100 WRX owners want them. there's a noticeable price difference between the 5x114.3 and 5x100 STi wheels.

 

I believe it
I contacted the couple people with cheap ads on craigslist
and they were all 5x114

This sucks -___-

Or should I rock the matte bronze rota DPT's?
This was my original choice
But they are pretty pricey

 

Hey all!

I got the rims of craiglist. The owner had aWRX. He told me he purchased the rims through the dealership as an upgrade. when they installed them, they actually scratched one, so the owner made the dealership buy him another one. I bought them, 5 rims in total, with almost new tires for $450.00! Great find on craiglist. Then resold them...bad mistake I actually miss them. but they were heavy as ***

 

I remember a LONG time ago, there was a thread on here where someone had silver '04 STi wheels on a tC. It looked okay, because they were kind of sunken in (fitment wasn't all that great); I think the '04s are 17x7.5 +53 offset. This means the STi wheels will be more sunken in than the stock tC wheels by 2mm.

 

^Stock tC wheels are 17x7 +45. 53-45=8, that's more than 2mm sunken in.
