Rota GRA's or simular. My folks live about 10 miles from the Rare Rims warehouse, so I might go down and spend the morning trying on different sets.

Not sure M8 to be honest, they are made by Redline and are the common or garden PFF7 replicas.

Tacky; I do know what you're saying but to me it just looks so good with the WR Blue....like Clio Williams they look great with gold wheels...

Hmmm

Stay dark. If you got the gold alloys you'd be after the other STI parts soon too. Your call though.
Enjoy it!

I think both look good (I have a wrx300 and hence gold ones).

The gold do go really well with WRblue though and I ignore all the chav etc comments. I think this is perpetuated by jealousy

In the end its a personal choice I guess.

I second that! . . .If we were members of any great ancient Civilisation such as Incas, Mayas or Egyptians . . . .No doubt they would choose GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD . . .

If you have dark alloys on a WR Blue Scoob, you pretty much look like you just sh*t yrself!
