Hmmmmmmmn. I'm undecided, multispokes look better than the old design, but unsure on the colour. They do fill the arches nicely though, but definetly needs lowering.

Plus a P1 splitter would look the nuts on that, for some reason frontend looks higher now, so imo a splitter needed to balance it out if you know what I mean

Its all personal taste at the end of the day, but the wheels are not bad - I think a little more of a dark gold colour would of suited, or keeping it fairly OEM and put some 01-02 WRX wheels on it.

Just needs lowered a touch I think.

At the end of the day, if you are happy with them then thats all that matters

(ps I meant to say ur car looks mint!)

I'm a big fan of gold on DBM but they are a bit too yellow for my liking,

Better than standard, maybe get them gunmetal grey by a top notch refurb specialist once they pick up a few scratches.

I've been out of the car scene for a good number of years, and its been a while since Ive seen gold alloys. They still look good on a car, especially a Subaru or Renault Clio Williams.
