Long story. 

 

Can someone here identify the lug pattern, rim width, and offset by what's contained in the following pictures?

 

 

 

Think "craigslist seller minus 100"wink

 

Thanks guys!

OZ Ultraleggera, the Rim size should be on the lip which is too blurry to read. Cant tell you the width or bolt pattern, sorry. They usually are in 5x112 and 5x114.3  whenever I see them for sale. Not exactly expensive wheels. How much they asking?

$1300 I think?

 

A friend answered the ad, he called me afterward laughing pretty hard.  apparently the seller doesnt know a thing about the wheels he bought (and never used)

They are gold.  Doesn't that automatically make them Subaru wheels, from a Blue car?

$1300 sounds like twice as much as they should be priced at to me but I'm crazy like that.  Used tires, mounted and balanced, $50 a wheel value at most in my book.  And then $100 a wheel for the wheels themselves.  So yeah, $600 to $650, perhaps?  

Price out new and see what happens.  I think that set of 17" RFP1's with used Firehawks were about $1300 delivered to my door from Tire Rack a few years ago for my Mustang.  Sold them for $650.  Maybe I screwed myself but I needed them gone.

I agree!

Nice $500 set of wheels there, depending on the tires.  Might be more like a $300 set of wheels, unless they are in something awesome like Vette or Viper fitment.  Not viper, not enough lugs.

Based on the flange meat towards the outside of those bolt holes.. I'm saying 2004 STI fitment @ 5x100mm spacing.   Look how dang close the holes are to the center cap.

Yeah, those don't look like 5x114.3 to me, for the same reason.  $650 was probably too generous.

Winner winner chicken dinner (with a nod to Streetwise guy for nailing it as well).   The information is still coming in (slowly), these were bought for a Subaru Frisbee (color unknown, but safely assuming "blue").

Now that we have the application I think I can make a couple safe assumptions.

FRS/BRZ = 225-245 series tire.  To me that says 8" rim, probably 17" but more likely 18" out here (the last aftermarket wheel shop I went to did not stock anything below 18")

8" rim gives a maximum of about 100mm offset in any direction and this one looks very close to flush, if I take into consideration the flange thickness then we would be in the ballpark of +50mm?

In reply to Hungary Bill :

If they truly are 5x100, tirerack shows 17x7.5 +48mm (17.4lb, $300 each) or 18x8 +45 (18.9lb, $350 each) in Gold to fit a BRZ
