WTT/FS in VA: 2008 Forester STi 17 x 7 wheels and/or Blizzak

These wheels are in good shape. I think there is couple rock nicks from driving back and forth from PA. Blizzak WS50s 215/55/17s are mounted which were only used for 1 winter and still have a bunch of meat left. These are rare wheels that only came out in a limited supply for the 2008 FSXT. I would keep these but
they won't fit over STi brembo brakes.

They will however fit the WRX 4pot/2pots. Wheels are 17x7 48+ 5x100. Will fit Forester, Impreza, etc.. IIRC, these wheels were made by Enkei.
Here are the wheels mounted on my car.
And some up close shots when I first got the car:
Will get some more recent close up shots when I get the chance.
Couple options here:
- Buy both from me
Buy just the wheels but pay for dismounting
Trade wheels and I can keep the tires for the wheels being traded for (if fit)
Trade wheels and tires if they are what I want for wheels and/or tires
Wheels $800
Wheels and tires $1000
Prefer local pickup.

I will only get rid of the tires if the wheels are spoken for and they don't want the tires.
I would love to sell or trade these for some STI gold/silver 17x7.5 5x100s and keep the tires.

Well, I might be picking up a set of STi 17s from someone but if that falls through, you have second dibs on just the tires.

Say it ain't so! Those are easily some of my favorite factory wheels that subaru ever put on any vehicle. But if you must sell them i guess you must sell...

Yeah, I like them but they won't fit...could always order a pair of the larger JDM FSTI 18"x8" ones
They come in gold:

or silver:

or order of set of the stock FSTI 18"x7.5" (always liked but so heavy

I just got my mom to buy a blue forester X Sport. I should convince her to buy these wheels

I think she was looking to buy the rear spoiler if she doesn't already have it too.

Local wanted to trade me Gold 18x7.5 Advan TCIIs for them...but then I would have to buy new tires ~$750 plus mounting and balancing for 225/45/18 winter tires. So that is my back up in case the 17" STi's fall through.
