Am loving those, is the extra work keeping them clean worth it?
And really really tempted, especially after seeing those

I might be missing something here but why are you after some of those when they are only a few dimples away from the standard grey ones?

They look similar untill you really compare them, my spare 17inch wheel is a WR1 wheel, when i had it on the car and compare it to the wrx ones it was a lot nicer

Must admit, I wouldn't have bought them if they hadn't been such a good deal, and for the RE070 tyres. I bought 3 sets at 400 each (wheels and tyres) and sold 2 sets on for a profit, making mine 100
The RE070's were nothing short of amazing in the dry, adding over 20mph to most corners. Scared the $h!t out of me in the wet at times
If I was paying any more I'd have picked a nicer, lighter wheel.

I nearly went for white but bottled it in the end, but those do look good and something different for a change..
I actually prefer silver to anthrecite on a WRB scoob, hence:

Nice and light too..
The STI/WR1 wheels weight a lot..!

Jasonious, they'd have been my wheel of choice if I'd had a spare grand or so
and in that colour
