Picture Request

Sean486 · #1 06-29-2010, 02:28 PM

If anyone has a picture of a Liquid Silver with Silver BBS wheels could you please post it up for me? I'm just curious as to how they will look together, I don't think I have seen that combo yet.

Sean, we could always swap my set onto your car to see if you like the look

Yeah, that is what I was looking for thanks! The 06 STi wheels are the same as the 05's correct?

Some of the center caps say "BBS" vs. "STi". I think the 05 say BBS while the 06+ say STi.

The 05 are the same as 06 wheels. The bolt pattern (114.3x5) is the same 05 to date. At some point mfr was changed from BBS to Enkei, thats when center caps changed. I don;t know exact year, but there are other subtle differences

Guess I won't be getting these after. Guy selling them on Nasioc has not been responding to my PMs.

Probably for the best, leaves me more money to put towards the 4.44 upgrade or other repairs.

Sean, you don't like the RX-8 rims?

Actually no, it's personal preference, but I just don't like 18" wheels on the SVX. If they had them in 17" I would want them, because I do like the look of the rim.

I ended up buying a set of BBS wheels afterall.

I am looking forward to getting them installed as soon as the lugs come in. I found a used set of black McGards lugs on Nasoic, hopefully they will arrive soon. I wish they had the BBS center caps, I may change them out later but for now the STi ones will be staying on. I'll post a photo when they are on the SVX.

05/06 BBS had black BBS caps, the 07 BBS had the red letter cap

Enkei also made a similar-looking non-forged gold wheel in 07 for Subaru, for the STI Limited?
