Default Which colour for WRX 2005 Alloys

Getting them refurbished in the next week or so and just wondered what other people have gone for on the standard wheel.

Standard colour or something different, may be a dark chrome?

Not keen on black, although I do like dark chrome.
Think its called shadow chrome.

Obviously I'm biased but i do like the darker look...and they are easier to keep looking clean. I quite like the smoke chrome pictured here http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/...shes/standard/

I like the smoked chrome on the AMG wheel from that link.
Going to pop to the refrub center at lunch to have a look.

One think I hate on my cars is not having good condition wheels and tyres.

Goodyear F1 tyres arrived yesterday, so just the wheels to sort.

I really like the standard colour, but wanted mine to sporty but subtle, so i referbed the wheels and painted with the BMW alloy colour. They sparkle in the sun, like the BMW oem alloy wheels. I like them, but i know a lot of people prefer the colour you have, or some sort of black.

Now you've thrown a curve ball! Hmm.
