My New wheels & Snows - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Dean · 2004-10-26, 06:05 PM

By the time I got my act together, it was to dark and cold to put them on, so here they are before installation.

Will put the stoptechs and them on tomorrow right after work.

Anybody wanting to test fit them over their brakes is welcome to while I put the Stoptechs on, and then you can help me blead the brakes...

They claim to fit the 04 STI, so they should fit my Stoptechs easy, and maybe Scott's... The angled one shows the color much better... I like them so far, we will see once they are on the car...

I like the finish and the spoke design. What are the wheels? Specs and weight?

sybir · 2004-10-26, 07:01 PM

Are those Weds SA-90's?

MB Motorsports Weapon from Discount Tire 17x8 ET46 I don't have exact numbers, but I beleive they are about 18lbs. Just don't look at the price Kevin... They are clearly too inexpensive for you to seriously consider...

Hey, my winter wheels are considerably cheaper than yours. Well, they SHOULd be anyway...

Dean · 2004-10-26, 07:27 PM

Update... A search on Nasioc shows that they are actually A-Tech/Final Speed "Erasers"... JDM Yo... 18.5 lbs according to some guy's bathroom scale... And the wheels do have the A-Tech logo...

tysonK · 2004-10-26, 08:06 PM

those look nice Dean!

winter wheels tires is such a cool mod, of course you had to considering the brakes.

MattR · 2004-10-26, 08:20 PM

I like those wheels a lot...they looks great..

Dean · 2004-10-26, 10:10 PM

I printed out the Stoptech brake template,and there is actually about 2mm more clearance in radius on these wheels than the RPF1s.

Spoke clearance is about the same as the RPF1s, tons.

These should fit the STI or the 332mm Stoptech BBK with no problem.

kidatari · 2004-10-27, 02:44 AM

Sweet wheels, Dean. Straight JDM y0!~

ArthurS · 2004-10-27, 08:00 AM

Looks look nice! Good choice Dean.

sperry · 2004-10-27, 08:58 AM

I like 'em Dean! Very Volk looking.

Which Hancooks did you get again?

MattR · 2004-10-27, 09:28 AM

The tread patten on those hankooks looks a lot like the Pirelli...cool.

We will have to have the Snow Donkey 500 (brought to you by Propane) to prove which winter tires work best...
