Cool Which Colour is best (car/wheel combo)

I'm about to order a new (2007) WRX and can't decide on the colour.

I'm going to add PPP + WR spoiler + 18" wheels.

I like the new GC-05f Forged Alloy Wheels - they would suite Mica Blue I think (Or the gold ones)

Or I could go for P-WRC1 (Anthracite) which would suit black

Any suggestions on colour of car and wheels?

I have a mica blue classic with 10 spoke Parotech Mygale gold 18's. Looks the dogs dandlers. IMO anyway.

I've got an MY06 STi, the gold looks good; but not sure about an non-STi - I think Gold might be a little too STI-Wannabe'

If I was to buy another scoob it would be white with anthracite wheels.

WRB can be difficult to match wheels, colour wise, IMHO.. The obvious is gold, however it's just that, obvious..!

On my 05 WRX (WRB) I've put bright silver OZ's which I think look good.

Had considered white for quite some time, but not sure if it would have been too much. Hence, having owned a WRB scoob, my choice now would be white/anthracite..

The new STI in white looks the dogs - pink logo on white is soo cool!

I can't afford a new STI (new house) so I'm going for a WRX + bits... (Can't lose the power of my current STi so have to have PPP )

I looked at the white and thought it looked good, but when clean; not sure it would look as good between washes (a month apart - too lazy).

What do you think of the new Aqua Blue Pearl + Anthracite?

if they are the Prodrive GC-05F forged alloys, they are are fitted to the Jap Performance test 06 sti so you might find some pics on their site (if they have one!)

personally i think it's one of the most boring designs i've seen from Prodrive and at £675 a corner(with tyre!) i'm sure there's better options out there

if they are the one's on a recent thread on a blue 06 sti in members, then sorry, i think they look cack aswell

nothing wrong with the one's on your car now in my opinion. or are you trying to spunk as much money on the car before you sell it as you can?

Have to agree, they look pants, and they want nearly £2.5K with tyres!!! what a waste of money!!!!

White with dark wheel would be my choice

Aqau Blue is out - saw one today and didn't like it.

I think the gold alloys and blue or anthracite and white are the final choices.

Go for Blue with gold wheels, 8/10 Subaru drivers prefer it....

I'm one of the 2/10 that didn't
