Wheels refurbed - too dark??
Just got my PFF7s back from the powder-coaters, they've done a really good job with them but I think they may be too dark?
Here's a pic, sorry the car is dirty...
Still struggling to find some genuine center caps...

Ha ha, I had white wheels on my previous car - never again, constantly cleaning them but look amazing when they are clean.

Change of job means my car now does 50-miles a day which isn't good for white wheels - good clean and reseal with poor boys next weekend

I don't think they are too dark but they could be a bit more glossy.

Lol, cheers dude.
I usually prefer the OEM look which is why I'm undecided.
Really looking forward to getting the Brembos fitted, should look good!

Looks fine to me, I prefer darker wheels on any Impreza regardless of the cars colour.
A definite thumbs up from me.
