Thanks Guys..... Its almost what I want but they're still a bit too bright for my liking.

Has anybody got any pics of the Anthracite Speedline GT1s on a WRX ? I'd appreciate it before I decide to shell out £1K.

Cheers, Ian.

Why don't you just get your Gold ones refurbed - you can pick the colour you want then.

Just don't wash your wheels ever and let the brake dust build up to a nice even colour. Et voila, cheap / free anthracite alloys!!

Neil,
thanks. Yep I'd come to that conclusion. So far I've managed to find 4 replacement wheels that will fit the STi7/8, one of them being the 18" speedline GT1 (or so scoobyworld say).

Hypoluxa,
thanks for the pics. I think they just mey be the wheels for me....... now for the search for the cheepest deal.

Cheers, Ian.

Unhappy

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most Impreza wheels won't fit the STI 7/8 because they will rub against the front brake caliper.

Make sure that an wheels you buy will fit before you buy them, or that you can send them back if they don't fit.
