the silver is more subtle, but the gunmetal has exclusivity and "the dark side of the force"!

tricky,

toss a coin,

hang on, ok - heads silver, tails gunmetal......









tails - gunmetal - thats what i make it with my penny piece

Thanks for all the comments!!

mmm... I had almost gone for the gunmetal... but each time I look at the silver it looks nice aswell... I can't make up my mind *doh*

maybe I really should toss a coin ...no wait! I'll just colorcode one side gunmetal and leave the other side silver so then everyone's happy!?

At last! I've got a black Sti Wagon, and I've been wondering the same.

My pref. would be to go for the gunmetal, though maybe slightly lighter colour than the ones shown (assuming thats a PhotoShop'd picture?)

Black and Silver just looks to ordinary for me....

That looks the biz I reckon.

Piccys of my car - pretty much the same as yours, as it looks like you have the STi rear spoilers.





Keep us posted with what you decide.

Mmmmmh, that STi wagon looks so nice! Is that a jap import? I have to admit I'm a bit jealous it's a pitty there never was a LHD STi Ver.1-6 so therefore I went for the STi rear lights and spoiler and the Ver.6 frontsplitter.

will post the results as soon the job is done

I like the silver out of the top 2 pics (the very dark gunmetal ones make that car look cheaper & untidy IMO).

But the lighter (more gunmetal ones) on the lower pic look v.nice! Maybe it's anthracite your after on these - to make it lighter than the gunmetal???

How about some coloured centre cap as well (a red or blue) just to set the wheels out even more!

i have just been comparing the photos of the silver and the white wheels and personally i would have stayed with the silver ones (sorry mate , that is just my opinion) also why have you RE-tangoed your car, it defo looked better DE-tangoed.

Thanks for the comments
Yeah it's different and there are certainly different opions on that. 95% of the alloys you see on the streets are silver. That got me bored a little. So I tried to do something else.
About the RE-tangoed thing... Well, there's only one excuse for that: JDM style rocks \(^o^)/ (but I'm honestly thinking about putting the clear ones back in)
