whatz with the springs on the headers?
They hold the sections of the header together, its splits up to make maintenance/removal easier

It states Enkei WRX wheels Although if you mean the track pics then i agree

Just a question, if the gunmetal wheels are WRX wheels, do you mean the style name, or they came off a wrx? There are many more subs here than s2k's and if I can untilise their wheels in terms of offset etc then that will help me pick up a decent used set...

more info please OP.!

Love the car btw

A lot of motorcycle headers come that way also. Looks like the idea might have come from that.
Moonrock is a good color but it doesn't compliment very many wheel color options.

Yeh buddy, OEM enkie rims off a 05> impreza WRK, they are just my daily driver wheels so i dont wear the Toyo R888 track tyres out on the road.
They are not staggered (8J wide all round) but with a 5x114.3 PCD and ET53 offset they are the a good fit OEM quality wheel.

The only down side is you will need to have the center of the wheel bored out to fit the S2000's hubs. (70.7mm front and 64.1 rear BTW)

I picked them up dirt cheap, as not many cars use the PCD + offset nobody apart from subaru owners want them (only 05> owners too)
I'm even using the stock potenza RE070R tyres in 235/45/17 all round until they wear out then i'll most likely go 215/45 front and 245 rear.

Incorrect, bbs forged wheels are the same offset and look near identical in appearance as the enkie but they were an optional extra at Subaru. Any 05 onward impreza is a 5x114, models before that where a 5x100. the easiest way to tell the difference from the two wheels is the center cap, the enkei has a Subaru badge (I've sanded it off on my wheels) whilst the bbs has a bbs badge.

This is fact, please do not post opinion and confuse other users of the forum ;-)
