Default White or Gold??

Just for a bit of fun, what's the best look for my Type R:-

1. Ultra rare STi RAYS RS Zero's in pure White








2. STi RAYS S202 rims in Gold






On a side note - the gold ones are due for a refurb, so thinking of going gunmetal/anthracite or back to original bronze for a change. Or should i keep in the colour they are?

Decisions, decisions eh !

Personally, I think the white ones compliment the car a lot better

5 spokes and Imprezas should never go together! They're just a wheel off a boy racer's car to me.

I'd go for the others refurbed in anthracite.

White, 100%

The only thing i'd change from the 2nd picture is to remove the mud flaps

Thanks, she's not looking too bad considering we only drove her out of the workshop with new engine fitted on Saturday afternoon, then had a quick wash before heading up to Banbury!

The plan is to run sensible power mid 400's until the motor is fully run-in, then go for a billet gt30 or similar with Spec C AVCS heads and run 500/500ish on V-power some time next year

The question was which was best for a type R and IMO neither wheel is suitable regardless of the colour

they both look amazing but i prefer the original gold rays rs zero's. i think the colours you have chosen for rs zero's is good because you already have a set of gold rays s202 rims so you can change to suit.

I think anthracite would suit your car better. Steve.
