Yes the P1 18" OZ comes in gold as well as titanium. I prefer the titanium, but as thats the std colour on P1 wheels, maybe some prefer "to go for gold" to set it off?
One guy on here did, search back a few weeks

Mine was in for a service yesterday and there was a P1 in the showroom waiting for collection with O.Z 18" in gold. What I couldnt figure is that over the wheel there was a clearance of about 50-75mm where as on my car MY00, I've just fitted 18" rims and the clearance is half that. Anyway, I prefer the P1 with anthracite 
(Oh and because of some house we have to pay for at the end of the month or something)

I know what you mean. I have just put a deposit down on a new house and although I want all manner of upgrades for my UK MY99, I have been "advised" that furniture for the new house is the preferred option!!

Russell - post you sombitch, post!
JDS - I've just bought a house, my settee just arrived, so now I'm saving up for something. Not sure what.
STi V6, P1 or (looks around nervously) maybe's another make of car.
If anyone has a pic they can post showing a P1 with anthracite 18" I'd appreciate it too.

Thank you very much.
The picture were taken in a bit of a huury and are low res.
In the flesh the car looks the dogs, esp. with the tints.
I'm at Powerstation Saturday if u want a closer look. There's plenty more to see.....
Also the wheel centres have now been fitted.
Well done Prodrive for sending the wheels without the centres !???
thanks

tints were done at Listers Worcs by a contact they have, who does the Queen's cars apparently.
Top job but expensive, but worth every penny as it sets it off beautifully

lovely car isn't it chaps.. and it's
got gold wheels too.... there's another
post around here somewhere with non-believers! If ever there was any proof
that gold works this is it. Oh, and
the little blue WRC on my main page ;o)
I normally don't like the 4 headlight conversion but must confess that it does look absolutely fab in blue.
lucky g*t

And what a coooool plate too.
What colours are the centres on the wheels - could've sworn I've seen silver centres on gold wheels before. Maybe's it was Pete and his Croney's who had them.
Now lets see some 18" anthracite wheels so we can start a big barney as to who likes what(!)

The centres are gold.
Headlight conversion is more than just for looks. The improvement in lighting is excellent as the P1 spots are Cr*p compared to PIAAS
Glad u like the car
Cheers
Russell
ps You should see the Ice install !!!
