Hi All,

I am going to refurb my standard STI wheels on my 2006 STI.
The car is a plain silver etc.
What colour would you do the wheels? They are silver at the moment.

Keep the same colour but have the inside of the wheels spayed and polished, you dont want it to look to chav

They have been sprayed before to a weird metalic silver so not sure if to go gold, silver, black or something else

black all the way, they still look good when they are dirty so brake dust is not a problem.

In fairness, where I am from pretty much everyone thinks Subaru Drivers are chavs. Which is a load of rubbish. Just because you like high performance cars does not make a a chav.

Even when I don't put the foot down I get looks of disgust by other drivers.

Its not looks of disgust it just jealousy
all im saying is that there are a lot of Impreza;s that go over the top with the Styling and in my opinion normally look better in standard form, A few thing maybe front spliter,mud flaps can look okl but coloured wheels and black tints is a no no for me.

Gun metal/anthracite, black is too much imho on silver unless you have the race look going on

Agreed, another vote for gun metal/anthracite. Thats what I am doing.

Is there any pics of gunmetal coloured wheels?

Specifically STI wheels, or just any wheels?

Plenty of images of different finishes available on the LapTab website HERE

theres a silver one with orange wheels around here ...certainly looks different

A lot of people are going bronze at the moment although there does seem to be a big range between different shades but the darker the better probably. Personally Gun Metal or Anthracite

What would you say the wheel colour is, very dark grey?

slate grey

Yeah, it is more of a slate grey than anthracite. It is a photoshop (thanks bioforger!), as i wanted to know what it will look like. Still havent got them done yet, but i really like the idea of them being 'greyer'.
