May 30, 201510 yr Hi all, I've been looking around for a set of reasonably priced alloys to use for winter (get them while they are cheap) and have seen quite a few sets of old STi wheels all correct 114 stud pattern, but not sure they will fit over the Brembo brakes. As an example EBay number 221781639035 is the ones I'm referring to. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
May 31, 201510 yr I run a set of Std STi alloys for winter. got them off ebay at great price virtually brand new with min mileage on the tyres. then had them powder coated the colour I wanted for £240 ;)
May 31, 201510 yr Author Any idea if they will fit over the latest shape 2014\2015 STi brembo brakes?
May 31, 201510 yr Author You are the man, just not confident to buy a set second hand and then find they won't fit the latest model STi I have. Been looking online for a while but real conclusive yes or no.
May 31, 201510 yr Got info back from the top engineer at Stan Palmers who has a 2015 STi.. his answer.... Yes they do but will trigger a fault on the TPMS system
May 31, 201510 yr Author Many thanks mate, really appreciate that. I'll look into the TPMS issue and check whether it's based on tyre rotation or individual valves. Hopefully something I can figure out :-) Thanks again !!!
May 31, 201510 yr he's come back to me and said you can have the system deactivated at the dealer.. but you have to sign a disclaimer. Or buy the sensors. are you on the UK STi owners facebook page?
May 31, 201510 yr Author No not yet... You got a link or is it easy to find? I've got to contact the dealer this week about the chipped paintwork issue on the boot sides as well as the standard rattle in the steering column/rack. Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated...
May 31, 201510 yr Author Found a reasonably cheap device for updating TPMS to winter sensors and then switch back after. Seems to be used a lot in the U.S. I need to do some more research but Quickset TPMS looks like it fits the bill.
May 31, 201510 yr yep, just saw its a closed group ;) only for STi owners :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/414178658747093/ best of luck on the alloys. there are some good value 18" 330s alloys on ebay at the mo too
