Hi,

My Tyres needed replacing so decided to get a different set of wheels with the new tyres.

I've Changed my wheels from the standard WRX wheels to Sti wheels and they've been refurbished in metallic Ford Polaris Grey. It is a lovely Anthracite Colour that looks really dark against the white of the car until the sun reflects off them and gives off a great shine,

I must say- your car looks stunning!
One of the nicest bugeyes I have seen.
I can't say I have seen many in white either and it looks lovely!
The refurbed wheels set it off nicely

Looks good... debating getting a set of STI wheels for mine too.

Gigsy

STI 1/2 inch wider (7.5/17 vs 7/17s)


Painted, though the later model (MY05? on) had slightly darker wheels than the earlier ones but not as dark as anthracite.
