Cheers Corradoboy, had a good look but couldn't find any gold ones, some nice wheels though. I'm I sick? I really liked the scooby with the white rims!
Might have to have a word with myself!

Silver looks great no matter what, white looks superb on white or DBM cars, gold is just gay and anthracite/black look mucky

Go for 18s, I had 19s on my 04 WRX, and the ride and handling was terrible, also made the car look really high.

Heres the only picture i had with the 19s on my car.

Its all down to personal taste. I have an 03 sti in blue with antracite 19" superlegs on and i love it. The dark wheels really show off the gold brembos!

We've got the 19" gold OZ supers on our 03 STi - tyre size 225/35 pirellis P zero neros with brembo brakes. The handling is fine and the ride is smooth. And our car is blue.

The love of my life - The wife on a good day!!! and not the car! (incase she see's this) says I spent at least my next 5 lots of birthday & xmas money buying the car!!

Spent 1K last month on new tyres, new Defi controller, Parrot hands free kit which I'm still trying to get it working properly after 5 visits to the company that installed it.

Guy scratched my alloys fitting the tyres, nightmare! give him his due, he accepted responsibility right away and arranged to have them resprayed.
So fancy keeping them for track days and fitting OZ's. I agree they look the biz. Didn't consider silver but like the picks. My mate is selling a brand new set of 18" silver ones for £700, his girlfriend ordered the wrong ones! Only thing is it's Dunlops!

Your right the silver is nice! Have you noticed how different they look from different angles? They look cool side on.

I'm sure I read on here that OZ had done a new offset 18 to clear the Brembo's on STi's as they were loosing sales due to people not wanting the handling ruined by being forced up to 19's. I may be wrong, but I'm sure someone on here posted it
