KJ at Vossen was fielding the questions. He said HF-5 22x10.5 wheels with 275/40/22 tires. Having 22x10.5 wheels with 305/35/22 tires the tires seem a bit narrow for a 10.5 inch rim so the 10 inch rim may be correct. I do know it totally transforms that white ST. You should chase the author to get more info.

They are advertised as “hybrid” forged

Advancing the traditional casting process, the Hybrid Forged Series utilizes flow forming to cut down on weight and increase strength. Flow forming also allows for a great range of wheel widths within each design.

Also even tho I don’t know the set up … 275/40 will stretch on a 10.5 and formed to wheel 275/35 would be narrow on a 10.5 imo.

Lets see some more photos of your setup as the HF-5 was one of my finalist wheels and I may have to grab a set to switch out occasionally. The other was the Super Forged OG wheel.

Do you like the satin finish to match the black trim or what?

I know mine are 22x9 but I can save you a boat load of money on the whole set.........unless you are out tracking or road racing your ST .

These wheels were originally one of the finalist on my ST wheel list. I think they look better on the white ST vs the red ST that I have.

Finally found out from the ST's owner what the actual wheels and tires are on this white ST. I am listing it in case others would like to know also.

Wheels (all 4) are Vossen HF-5 Satin Black 22x10.5 - 5x114.3 - ET32. So if your looking for these Vossen wheels contact Lethal Performance, Inc.

Tires (all 4) are Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Runflats - 315/35/22.

Only the last photo gives you a true sense of wheel/tire width.

Another interesting wheel that was on my list is the Superforged "The OG". Last two photos. It is a rugged interesting looking wheel also.

I personally think the Vossen wheels look better.....but maybe I'm a little biased . I think your ST would look way better with a grey or polished wheel . I am just getting tired of seeing black wheels on a vehicle that came with black wheels . IMHO , if you are going to spend a bunch of money and change the look of the vehicle , you have to do a complete 180 .

Curious what Lethal is selling that setup for ?

Totally agree, I'm thinking of bronze wheels on my Carbonized Grey for that exact reason.
