I agree with Rasher 18" Anthracite Don't put TART wheels on, why spoil a nice looking scoob by doing that

18" anthracite. It was set up for 18" (and don't listen to those who gripe about tramlining. mine was infinitely better when I swapped to the 18s, braking improved, stopped it's annoying understeer habit it'd had with the 17s, and looked better). Anthracites look better and don't need cleaning (brake dust is the same colour

Deffo Gold.

Anthracites just always look dirty and the Blue/Gold complement well.

Unlike Silver/Gold

Peccy, yes it looks like a Subaru but not a P1...because it isn't a P1

Got to be Anthracite.

when i had a p1 and was buying the 18's i went for anthracite, my opinion was that a p1 came with anthracite, should stay with anthracite

I can't believe so many are for Anthracite.

A P1 on 18" Gold Prodrive/OZ wheels looks the dogs!

Besides, why don't the WRC cars have anthracite wheels? Cos Gold is the way to go!

The gold wheels are made from melted down golden shoes and handbags, The others are made from a tough tough alloy. (LOL).
