You should try and get a discount from dealer you bought the car off (worth a try) for the Prodrive 18" OZ's (best looking wheel IMHO).

I went for Gold (blue/black mica car) but personally I prefer the crystal titanium (like a shiny silver) as they look superb and you don't see many cars with them.

Wheelbase on 0161 6280000, don't think there on their website. They do stock them though as I just bought a set. Speak to Carl...very helpful.

I really hate the "can't be @r5ed cleaning the brake dust off/Mondeo with a lost wheel trim" anthracite/black look. Makes me cold.

IMHO of course

Different, yes.

Lovely, hmmmm

Silver = subtle, stylish. Enhance the car without making a statement.

Gold = obvious, boring. Image jumped on by less desirable elements of car community

Black = ugly, trying too hard to be different, which is very difficult with a car. Look at all the MAX/***'ers who "personalise" their car with exactly the same Halfrauds bits 'n bobs as all the others.

Again, IMHO. What do I know, I'm still running the standard WRX alloys but when I'm allowed to it's OZ 'Legs in bling bling SILVER for me

i like the silver after staring at them for a while, look bigger than the gold to me too!

Not to sure the black relates to the max power and halfords crew though, but its TSL so may be they are looking to go that way??

(joke!)
