Liked the 1st two pics, the 3rd one just looks a bit too yellow-gold instead of gold.

2nd pic shows the best wheels IMHO

I used to have Prodrive ST2 wheels on my old classic, brilliant wheels. I think they do look a bit too 'yellowly' compared to the standard speedline gold but don't look too bad.

The wheels in the 2nd pic look like typical classic impreza chav wheels... keep them off!!!! Stick to the quality Prodrive/Speedline ones.

Tony.

ST2s are the best wheels on a classic IMO

<---

Do look a tad orangey though, better than the other wheels you had on!

Nice wheels but the obviously got the gold mix wrong.
when I went to a wheel refurb place they had about 5 different golds to choose.

Nothing wrong with the style of the wheel, but the colour looks like a Caramac sweet.

If a bodyshop did them, I guess that they may not be powdercoated hence the more yellow than gold finish. When I worked for Audi, they refurbed the wheels by rubbing them down and spraying them with the same paint they used on the cars, it gave more of a matt finish.

I personally like them mate, and now youve got your STi lights on the car looks more rally. Keep em!

They powder coated them in white first. The camera does make them look very yellow/gold. They look very different when you see them with your own eyes.

I was thinking that would be the case, look too yellow in the pics IMO but like you say in real life probably much different... as long as your happy with them

I like the wheel style, but the colour is a bit 'Chicken Korma' ish, lol (sorry!)

I actually did like the wheels you had on in the interim, so i guess that must make me a Chav then?

Lol
