Question

Good choice or do you regret it and wish you had had another colour?

Yes have a Black STi8 with silver FF18" wheels. Pig to keep clean, but prefer it to all the others.

If you have a fast connection you can see pics @, they are all very high res.

Black Sti8

Thanks blueblood had a look at yr pics earlier from an old link.

Managed to do a great(imo) deal to upgrade sti7 to 8, but have the WR Blue one now so was thinking of a colour change. Worred that bonnet stone chips and scratches will show up more.

A mate of mine replaced his Cossie with one recently and has had the PPP kit fitted. I always thought if I bought one it would have to be blue but after seeing his in black, I am impressed!

Hi Matt,

They are Toyo 225/40/ZR18's

They came on the wheels when I ordered them from Scoobyspot.

(The wheels are silver as atandard, not gold as in on SS the web page)

Scoobysport no longer import them. FYI(in case of replacements) you can get them from www.elitedirect.com per wheel.

cheers

I didn't know that...
One quick note:
I've had them touched up once since getting them, they are a nightmare with stone chips & kerbs (Because they overhang the tyre wall) and are first to touch anything, my parking has had to improve no end!!
