Probably a dark silver, but if you ask me mate that car looks the dogs! Leave it as it is, looks sex!

Anthracite or hyper black - although gold is okay on a white car

Gold would be my choice for standard wheels and white for aftermarket wheels. I love white on white but think standard wheels are a bit small to pull it off

ps. Anger, do you have a build thread?

Where did you buy the spare set from Nic? I wouldn't mind a set in good condition. Found a set from one of those japan auction site, but doesn't look too good on pics.

Gold is the best colour for those wheels IMO. But if you have a spare set and have to scratch that itch, then i say something like a light to mid gray would look quite good.

Be different if they are a spare set of wheels. Try something bright, blue, green, orange pretty much any colour will suit a nice white car like yours.

I went for anthracite on my white Type RA.






They were flat silver when I got it but thry never really did it for me.



I've also got the original RA silver alloys which look ok, how about Type RA-R white wheels?

I've got the exact same car but in black, also got the exact same wheels and have been thinking about re-furbing them too, searched the entire net for ideas and keep coming back to gold

I think Hyper black would look great on a white car

I got both sets off Scoobynet mate and was lucky to get a mint set from Stu (53) on here.
The STI centre caps aren't cheap though
