FS: 17x 8.5" Gram Light 57S- Bronze (5x100) - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MattR · 2009-02-22, 09:40 AM

I have an extra set of wheels I'm looking to sell. Custom Powder- Coated Bronze in Color, these are 17" x 8.5" Wheels with a +48 Offset. I have always used these as track wheels, but these would be great for Auto-x, track or even daily drivers. These wheels now have no tires on them and are ready to go to someone in need of some new wheels. Let me know, asking $800

szucchet · 2009-02-22, 01:55 PM

i might be interested. i am saving money for a set of wheel and does are good looking, i let you know when i have cash.

MattR · 2009-02-22, 02:09 PM

Well, these do look really good on a silver car!

szucchet · 2009-02-22, 02:37 PM

do you have any pix of them on your car?

Kevin M · 2009-02-22, 03:23 PM

Oooooo... man, it's a good thing I'm not going to the track this year, or I'd have to spring for these.

Take some 17x7.5 Rotas with low offset in trade?

MattR · 2009-02-22, 09:10 PM

Sorry, Can't find any shots of them on the car.

Do you know if these will clear a set of AP racing 8 pot 330mm /6 pot 330 rear big brakes? If so i am pretty interested!!

If they clear stock STi Brembos, they likely also clear the 332mm StopTechs, which in turn are likely similar in size to the AP's. So by the transitive property of me making shit up, they have an 88% chance of clearing.

See if AP has the dimension diagram of the caliper in section like Stoptech does, and compare the two. If it's not noticeably farther from the hub face to the outer edge of the caliper (at the inner wheel spoke surface) they should clear.

MattR · 2009-02-23, 09:06 PM

I don't know but you're welcome to come by and try one on. They look to clear the Brembos by a lot.

Found some pics for you Matt:

MattR · 2009-02-24, 06:31 AM

Thanks, they are bronze now, that is what they look liked in sliver though.

Really? They look the same color on my monitor (a gray-ish bronze).

2009-02-24, 11:09 AM

It looks like the front 8 pot is 139mm thick and 261.4mm long,the rear 6 pot is 139.9mm thick and 246mm long. I would totally try one on but the car hasent been put together yet, i have aquired a mass of parts for this project i have oversunk myself into. It started out as a ,Oh i'm just going to to a few simple things to, now this is turning into a back up car for my Redline time attack seriec in a diffrent class, then meaning i am now building a car to compete in awd modified and will be already competing in awd Unlimited. Not if i didn't have already enough to focus on, season starts end of march!!! Damn car addiction!!!

MattR · 2009-02-24, 02:56 PM

Well, do you have a brake assembly or hub to try?

szucchet · 2009-02-25, 01:49 PM

does any body know how much these wheels weigh or in comparison to stock 04 sti wheels?

18x8.5 57S's are 20 lbs... so the 17x8.5's are probably a little bit less. For comparison, the '05 STi BBS's (forged 17x8s) are 19.2 lbs. I'd guess they're about the same.

MattR · 2009-02-27, 03:46 PM

Someone should totally but these wheels. Reduced to $850! I'll even deliver them locally! Ha!

pike · 2009-02-27, 08:39 PM

would you happen to want silver 04 sti bbs's with re01r's with about 55% tread left? Wheels are in good condition, no curb rash.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-02-27, 09:13 PM

PIKE GTFO!

Just kidding. I would totally buy these if I had the money. These wheels are totally awesome.

Ooooh, 5x100 BBS. I'll take them if you'll sell them crazy cheap and give me like 5 months to pay.

MattR · 2009-03-11, 01:54 PM

Bump, still looking for a new home.

cody · 2009-03-11, 02:38 PM

If these were black, I'd be forced to buy them. Damn.
