Default Grid Drifts

Thinking of new wheels for my black blob.
Anyone got any pics of white Grid Drifts on a black blob please ?
I think they would be good.....it's between these and Pff7's.
Thank you

Have you typed Subaru Grid Drift into Google images?

and dont do it, the only ones that look good is the 9.5 wide concave ones and that overhweels an Impreza and thus loses its ride and handling big time, not to mention a ball to fit.

The PFF7's are timeless, look amazing and are a proper Prodrive wheel.

A lad in the local car scene has got a blue blob with the white grids. Looks great and probably because it's so different. Up until that point I'd never seen them on a scooby before.

PFF7s don't look great unless your car is lowered imo.

No wheel looks good without being lowered really and you'd have to lower it for 'Grid Drifts..amongst all the other things one hs to do to force them to fit

Drifts look amazing on a newage but as said above, it's alot more involved than just bolting them on.

With regard to PFF7, I don't think they suit a newage at all. Look good on a classic mind you.

Thanks guys.......it's the Pff7's every time for me....however....
I found a pic of a blue blob on the Grid Drifts that's awesome to say the least.
I wish I could post it up here but don't know how.
It really is the dogs.....but if they're difficult to fit...im gonna go Pff7.
Now....to decide.....gunmetal/anthracite....or is that the same thing?
I also have awesome pic of black blob on Pff7s anthracite....and once again....cant pic it up here.

Had Grids on my Hawk STi, the car drove terrible on them, there more of a show wheel, so you got to decide if you want a car that occasionally might catch the arches if driven hard, and they feel heavy when turning.

Get yourself a set of white speedline turinis or Team Dynamic pro race 1.2. Would suit the car better in my opinion!!
