As per title really...

I'm thinking of getting some 18" Work Emotion CR's for a black Bug STi, or as an alternative, I'm after Ultralite G-Grids in bronze or gloss black

So any pics of black scoobs with bronze or high gloss black would be helpfull

Cheers!

Nice one

Work in Japan have just put their prices up apparently, which means it'd work out about £450 - £500 per corner with tyres! So they're out of the running as I dont want to spend £2k on wheels and tyres.


Well I'm really not sure what to do now.... Spoke to an Ultralite dealer, and they dont currently have a G-Grid fittment for a MY02 in gloss black, and I've found out that the metalic bronze G-Grids I like have now been superseded by gloss bronze. Unfortunately, the latest ones dont look very bronze anymore IMO

Here's the bronze I wanted:



And heres the latest version:





So.....

I'm now considering one of these:

Bronze


Gunmetal

I was gonna say about the Works wheels I know they're expensive!

I was in the same boat, wanted some Volk TE37s. Huge cost aside the wrx fitments were limited anyway.

Yeah I also wondered about the Rota bronze options as the US versions look much more metallic. But never been 100% that they made different versions, there's only matt bronze. The colour changes a lot depending on light conditions - dark gold in bright sunlight, but much darker otherwise.

Although there are similar Rota wheels to the G-Grids (they copy everyone!), as far as I know the UK colour is more like your second pic, sorry...I'd have gone for the top colour too if I could! If you need 5x100 PCD then it might still be worth a look, the wheels look way better than in pictures...

I'm going to go and have a look at them in the flesh before I decide. I found out that the UK Ultralite distributor is only about 5 miles from my house, apparently I can buy direct from them and they do tyre packages too. So I'm going to have a look in their showroom.

One thing that did disturb me however, is that he said if I buy them from a dealer and I curb one, he wouldnt split a set, but if I buy direct from him he would....!! Out of principle I dont want to buy them from him (and with tyres, I can get them cheaper from a dealer that I know very well that will pass the discount on to me - approx £140 cheaper!)

I would say however, that I'm starting to lean back towards the 'bronze' G-Grids, I did some photoshop stuff with different alloys, and the black/black option made the car look a bit like knightrider!! So the maybe the colour variation may look better?
