Since the availability on most wheels for STI 8's are on a waiting list, I thought I'd better join one of them.

I can't decide which wheel to go for though....

Opinions as to which of the following would look better on a MY03 WR Blue STI 8 would be greatly appreciated....

Prodrive WRC 10 spokes



Prodrive PFF7's

WRC - even the name sounds cool

PFF7s are prob much easier to clean though.

As you know Sammy, 19" SuperL's were my first choice but since theres more chance of me finding a free 22B in a cereal box, I've opted for one of the above.

I could bet SuperL's in silver (like yours) but I've decided that for a WR Blue STI, its gotta be Gold. All IMHO of course!
