Default 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...

I think they look okay mate

They're nearly as dark as my white wheel

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.

Still look very nice, best rim on a blob.

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!

I've got black ppf7's on my WR1, and I love the look of darker wheels now. I think they look great!

Looks fine to me, I prefer darker wheels on any Impreza regardless of the cars colour.

A definite thumbs up from me.
