Default What colour alloys? Ideas please. Photo included

Going to be adding a set of PWRC 18" alloys to the car.

Pretty much like my current ROTA GRA alloys so have added the current set on the car.

Just want some ideas of what colour to go for. Was thinking White, satin black ,matt black ,gloss black?

Please help.







Cheers
Steve

i agree with tubbytommy, looks nice as it is, if you feel your really need to go a different alloy colour, maybe the usual gold, looks nice imo

ive got to say its one of the nicest bugeyes i have seen i wouldnt change anything if it was mine,
the lines are nice and clean, the stance looks good and the wheels compliment the car.
your car is what i like about subarus, nice subtle mods that improve the cars looks,
lately i keep seeing loads of ruined classic's plastered in stickers with lexus lights that make me want to sell my car as im embarrassed to be an owner.
my faith is restored!!!

The only colour that would look as good or maybe a little better is black with plenty of lacquer.

Will produce a more evil appearance.

I wouldn't think satin or matt black would work with a gloss black car, they'd just look dirty in contrast. White would be my choice, but I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to cleaning

Thanks guys for the input.

Not a fan of Bronze on black unless anyone can change my mind?

So my black or white idea isn't great then? lol

Has anyone painted a set of PWRC alloys in another colour on a black car?

MY ROTA'S ARE NOT FOR SALE GUYS. THANKS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE SENT PM'S BUT THE ROTA'S ARE STAYING.

Cheers

White will look good,but not sure if you want them clean every few days,if you have dusty pads,which i've before.
Personally i would keep them like are,looking good Steve.

Bad HatHarry..........thank you so,so much.

Your a star.

Can I be cheeky and ask if there is anyway you can make those white alloys in black too? Just want to narrow my options.

Cheers again.

Default Henry Ford was not wrong!

I have a 2003 Impreza 4 door in black with 17" prodrive wheels in gloss black. Less cleaning and looks lower than it is! Tried gold wheels, but looked a tad pimpy, thought they would look good but the young adults (offspring) told me I was having a mid life crisis, but the black wheels reaped no critiscism!
Henry was right after all!
