What colour wheels for Black STI??
 
I have an MY04 STI, black with 18" prodrive wheels. Now I've never really been a lover on the gold wheels - see below

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...I/DSC00216.jpg

Now I have kerbed one of the alloy wheels its a good time to get them sorted and re-furbed to another colour.

I always fancied anthrocite but not sure how good it will look, also think silver would look quite nice.

Can you guys post a pic of your black car so I can see what wheels will look good?

Cheers

Hanley

p.s. Anyone know anyone in the north-west who can do this for me?

trails 08 September 2005 01:44 PM

white...reverse the trend?

Hanley 08 September 2005 01:48 PM

eeermmmmmm I don't think so

People will point and laugh at me

:D :D

Mikkk 08 September 2005 01:53 PM

Black + anthracite = smart 'n subdued, a Ring time <8mins & increased sexual prowess ... well, 1/3 ain't bad :D

Homerjay ... what are you doing with pictures of my car eh?? EH??
Oh wait, the number plate is different ... and I don't have a herringbone drive, or a tree in my front lawn ... or a front lawn come to that :D

Hanley 08 September 2005 02:00 PM

I must admit Black + anthracite is deffo the look to go for

Not sure whether my prodrive wheels reconned will look that good or whether I should sell them and buy some new ones.

:)

A few weeks ago i'd have said anthractie, but recently saw a black skyline with bronze wheels, looked awesome.

Go bronze!!!!!

Focusbird 08 September 2005 02:12 PM

What about something like this, they're hyperblack.

Or perhaps a dark coloured wheel with a chrome edge around it.

jasonius 08 September 2005 02:12 PM

anthractie look the best on a black car.

saying that the white suggestion would be different. have thought about white on our wr blue scoob..;)

JAC on the scottish scoobies forum on SIDC was selling a set of 4 bright pink 17" STI alloys. Not as bad looking as it sounds. Have a look. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/messageview...ighlight_key=y

Hanley 08 September 2005 05:28 PM

Been to a local place who will repair my kerb damage and refurb my current wheels to anthracite for £30 per wheel.

Worth a squirt for 120 quid I suppose

:D :D

hi m8, would look nice with anthracite imo.
or you could always go for crystal titanium:cool: :)

Lee.
P.S-would like to see bronze though, like on Rashers S202.

That car looks familiar :)

Think I'll give anthrocite a shot and see how they look.

Hoping to book it in next week so I'll get a pic up when they're done

Hanley 09 September 2005 10:17 AM

Car is booked in with ProClean Alloy Refurbishment in Prescot, Merseyside for Tuesday 20th Sep.

Kerb damage to be repaired and all wheels re-done to dark anthracite.

Total cost - £120

Can't argue with that

:)

Trap2Terrorist 09 September 2005 11:56 AM

Me too, I've looked at the OZ Racing Superturismo WRC (white with red lettering) for my WR Blue WRX. Problem is I'm not convinced it won't look OTT?

I like white or anthracite myself. Was a fan of black, but not so much now.

I've currently got the bog standard bronze 17"s on mine though - http://www.st3ph3n.com/images/car/newbits/images/2.jpg

They've grown on me I must say.

You'll have to post some pictures there mate. Im thinking of doing the same on my MY03 STiUK in WR blue, I haven't seen any other car with them yet, although Im sure there will be some.
