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
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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
