I really fancy a set on my STi8. Hopefully I have found a set which will fit. Going to get them just so long as they go on.

Anyone else got black wheels on their new age? Especially on a blue car please

Black wheels on any car makes it look like you've lost the trims off your steel wheels. Makes the whole car look shabby IMHO.

it can't work. if you buy blue then it has to be gold. even the sliver wheel jockeys only ... just .... get away with it.

someone post a pic here of black on blue pls.

I like your wheels mate. I had already looked at your thread before I posted.

To the guy who thinks blue and gold are the only colour I agree to a certain extent, however, as ALL STi's seem to be blue and gold I want to be a little different. I think black wheels on the blue car with my tinted windows also will look the business.

I have found the perfect set from TSL if they will fit. Will hopefully be arriving for trial fitment in the next week or two.

They are very much like the set on the silver car.....mmmmm i like alot

Oh and again I agree that silver wheels on blue generally dont do it, for me anyway

Go for it mate!I recently saw a blue STi8 with black or maybe anthracite wheels go down the High Street in Knowle and it looked superb!In fact,it kinda reminded me of a P1.
