Default New alloys fitted

Fitted some new Enkei alloys that I picked up quite cheap.

What do you think? I am starting to think the original alloys looked better



or

Not sure which are your new ones but the white ones look best imo.

white ones may look better if you had white wheels nut as well because your eyes are drawn to the alloy colour ones on the white wheels

Sorry, prefer the OE wheels. The new one's cheapen the look of the car IMO. But then I love a standard, unmodified car

They look OK,but as has been said before the standard wheels look harder to me,maybe a colour change on you new wheels to say gun metal grey black etc...would of given them a better contrast as there is just a bit to much white going on with your vehicle.SJ.

I think you're making the right decision there

I look at the pic with the OE wheels and it looks like a V3 STI, when i look at the one with the white wheels it loses it's identity.

Amber front and side indicators next

Nice to see one without the colour coding done to the original side skirts for that year too, looks a nice example and spec looks good also.

I've decided to revert back to OEM look because its just way better

The white alloys do make the car look tacky I think.

Orange indicators on the list now too as well as the original STI rear lights which mine don't seem to have for some reason
