Say I were to get some 05 STi wheels...
What else would I need? They have tires on them.
Lug nuts? (i have aftermarket lugnuts for my Enkei's) Hub-centric rings?

Well...not sure if the stock STi lugs fit the SVX studs...or if the stock SVX lugs fit the STi rims.
And I havent really tried looking it up yet.

They are: 17x8 BBS 5x114.3 53mm offset Stock tires are 225/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE070 Which means that when the speedo reads 60mph, you're actually going 60.2, so they have almost the exact same circumference as the stock SVX tires.

The 04 wheels were 16lbs, so I'd guess somewhere around 17 for the 05's. Still searching for the actual weight though.

I think that 17 lbs is about right. Great wheels for performance, but Landshark is right about the wheels being a PITA to keep clean. I wouldn't get them for that reason.

What About Cost?
How much will those puppies cost? Tire Rack's price for Prodrive wheels is outrageous. It's funny, I just saw a white Sti this afternoon w/gold wheels and thought how good they'd look on a (pick one)...burgundy, red, green or black SVX. Keeping alloy wheels clean is easy, (espeially after having owned British cars w/wire wheels...especially chrome Jag wheels). These days it's spray on, wash off. I wouldn't worry about keepin' those pups clean. O, man... I'm getting a bad case of the greens...green w/ envy and the lack of green to do anything about it!
Look forward to seeing them on your car. WGJ
