When I joined this BBS, oh, many years ago I asked why Subaru put Gold Wheels on their cars ...... I just thought they were hideous and spoke volumes about your masulinity - or not, in this instance!

I was practically hung, drawn and quartered!!

Now, it appears, 5 years down the line, that the tide has swung well and truly into my way of thinking .... am I right??

No-one, surely, can think Gold Wheels are anything other than outdated, tacky, gay icons of a bygone age??

Finally, I may see the day when Gold Wheels are laughed out of town!!

Pete

 

I agree

 

but your scouse??

 

I think he means .... they are so tacky, so gay, that even the scousers won't even NICK 'em!!

Pete

 

5 years worrying about the wheels on other folk's cars,something/somebody is definately going to get laughed at.

 

OOooooooo, well I'm really concerned at that possibility

Pete

 

Pete aren't you old enough to remember bling the first time round?

 

No I'm not, don't assume cause I live somewhere I was born and brought up there

 

Looks like gold to me!

 

 

We have all been laughing at you for years and you are still here!

Nothing wrong with gold wheels, why not ask some WRC drivers?

Buck

 

Pslewis will be dead before gold wheels.

 

Dare I say it.....

I agreed with you then Pete, and I agree with you now!

I've had four Subarus since joining SN and NONE of them have had gold wheels!

 

What's that then?

Is that anything like Masculinity?

 

Maybe PSlewis should go away and do a spell check before posting again?
That was his suggestion to me in a different thread a couple of weeks ago!!

I've just bought a set of gold alloys for my WRX, some people like them, some hate them. At the end of the day, I'm not going to start worrying about what people think of them!

 

every idiot out there has silver wheels ......

what other colour is there other than gold..........

..Excusing primary colours . ( fine for specailist applications )

 

I don't think gold wheels are outdated at all, think they look good on Blue or Black Scoobs, a bit questionable on the other colours !!

 

Just having mine refurbed at the moment

 

Fairy Nuff!!

Pete

 

Your a comedy genius Pete!!

 

Before I could afford an impreza and lusted after one I hated gold wheels and thought never never. Now I've got a scoob, I love my gold wheels. They're extremely naff but surely thats the point if you want a car that stands out a bit.

 

Would you run around the town with a babies nappy on?? Its naff ... but, heyho, it makes you stand out a bit!!

Sadly, doing either makes you look like a right wally!!!

Pete

 

Anthracite or graphite, etc.

Like saying every idiot out there has red brick houses, but that doesn't make stone cladding right!!!

 

Got my first Imprezza only a few months ago . . .Before I got it, I was always of the school that gold wheels were tasteles and very vulgar . .However, once at the dealership, I found them to be very cool and seductive! Come on . .Its practically the Subaru trademark! It makes an outstanding car get noticed even more!

Just not the same without them . .

 

You really need to re-think your username!!

Pete

 

In my opinion, to which we are all entitled to, is that an Impreza is truly represented by a bonnet scoop, a big rear spoiler and a set of gold wheels!
However, i am a big WRC fan so i am biased

 

Excuse me, when I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

Pete

 

I have the best of both worlds, 'cause I don't clean my wheels that often....

Therefore they are anthracite for normal day-to-day driving, and I clean them up to gold for special occasions!!

 

In which case i suggest you find something better to do than put posts on a web site when you don't want other peoples views/comments or OPINIONS!
Lets face it by the number of posts you have made you obviously have far too much time on your hands

 

He's just counting the minutes till the Grim Reaper visits. At the rate he ages (7 years in a month) it won't be long now, I for one will pay some dough towards sticking him in DBM coffin with gold handles and a huge knocklink on the interior door
