I am in the market for a set a 18" rims for my car very soon and cannot decide which rims I like. I kinda like PFF7's but not so sure now, they're a bit common. I absolutely love the Advan rims but they are a bit expensive for me.

Which ever wheel I go for has to be flow formed, had cast before and won't do it again.

I'm after as much feedback and opinions as possible to do with colour, style, offset, the lot. What do you think would look best?

Need your help as I'm useless at making decisions!

Thanks in advance.

In my opinion I think Anthracite looks best on WR blue.

A few people are running white wheels which can look pretty good.

Also depending on styling of car, ie black front light mod, maybe dark rear clusters if thats your thing, tints etc then black wheels can look awesome.

I personally hate the gold, And not a great fan of silver on this colour.

Ultralite A-TECH in gunmetal or anthracite a good bet!

Im sure you can get speedline turini in anthracite or gunmetal now, expensive but awesome.

I assume your wrx doesnt have brembos or a big brake upgrade? If it doesnt this opens up a wider choice of wheels compare to a newage STi.

IE have a look at buddy club P1 racing in anthracite.

hope this helps.

Thanks guys, I like the idea of darkened rear lights and have done it before but never been to pleased with the finish I got and so has put me off a bit incase I make a mess of it.

Also have been thinking of matt black rims but not sure of which ones. Gunmetal is also high on the list. Not too sure about the white, I like them but can look a bit tacky. I'll have a look at the wheels you've recommended though. No brembo's at the moment but maybe a future mod so I'll have to bear that in mind for the rims.

Keep the ideas coming, it's good to know what people think.

Doesn't look too bad in the white, its growing on me.

Keep the ideas flowing, the more the merrier!

I vote for the Anthracite.

The white could look nice, but they would be a bitch to keep looking clean. At least with the darker or silver-colored wheels, a light brake dusting doesn't totally kill the looks.

I totally agree with the above, white would be a nightmare to keep clean. I have been thinking along the lines of bronze. Think in the right wheel it could look quite smart. Just needed a few more suggestions about the style, which wheels?

What ever you get make sure they're a light weight design..

FWIW I have bright silver 18's:

Looks good that. Thats the reason I'm wanting to stay away from the cast wheels. Had them before and were heavy and they also cracked, not good.

I also have white Inovit Redlines, and whilst hard to keep clean ( especially over the winter LOL ) the HUUUUGE advantage is that even man size paws can make it through to the rear of the alloy with a sponge to keep em tip top.....

Another vote for Anthracite on a WR Blue Car.
The alloy choice must also be 18". Nothing wrong with PFF7's.
