This what you're after? Anthracite STi alloys from the WR1 prior to PFF7 fitment.

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
