Default New wheels on the car
Hi all, just put the new rims on the car at the weekend. I've had the car for 3 years now but started modding it a year ago. Before then it was just standard. So far its really just been cosmetics, now thats done I'm gona start on the engine.

The car as it was when I got it.




All the parts fitted are genuine Subaru, some new and some 2nd hand, apart from the splitter which is from HT Autos. Its been lowered on Teins and has a whiteline ALK.

Thanks guys, yeah I've gone for the subtle look. I don't like those aftermarket bodykits as I think they look a bit barryboys!

It took me bloody ages to decide which rims to go for but now they're on I'm well chuffed. Never thought I'd see the day when I bought gold rims though!

I know what you mean, wheels can make or break a car. What did you go for?

They are 8x18 Ultralite G-Grids. I hummed and hawed for ages on what to go for. Photoshopping certainly won't be a problem for you mate!

Good idea, sry to ambush your thread, but what do people think of em on mine? Can't have gold, so silver?


Or anthracite?

I think I prefer the anthracite otherwise it's "too" much silver (if you know what I mean).

Bio, the 2nd pic looks they're bronze. They look the best I reckon and thats the colour I was after but after Ultralite stopped doing them last year coz they never sold well. Bummer!

I kinda agree with what Chris said but coloured nuts may change things. Why can't you have gold?
