Hmmm, the gold ones are very, er, GOLD. With time, and brake dust, they'll approach the colour of the anthracite ones, so you could save a lot of time just going for anthracite Besides, it has a more purposeful, less bling sort of look with anthracite.

I like the way the STi badges change colour as well...

Anthracite /grey! You could also de-tango it.

if you move your mouse over the pic and remove it quickly repeatedly...it looks like the wheels and badges are blinking

oh dear i'm bored.... I'd stick with the gold and spend the cash on something else!

Too much black... Noone can see you if you're black on black with black and anthracite and black black... Catch my drift. I think the anthra wheels are nice,but i think darkening the STi logo will only help to make it invisible. I say antrha wheels and pink STi if you must. But theres nothing wrong with the gold (that i personally prefer)

I must be honest, I thought after posting this up, it would make my mind up, but you are all split as well!


Maybe silver wheels will be the answer.

I do like the grey, very subtle. However, if you want people to stop and stare then you'll have to keep them gold. Imprezas and gold wheels are a trade mark in my opinion (flame suit on).

Did a similar thing with my flaps.
