Graphite would look awesome on your car. IMHO, gold will not suit it.

Good luck!

Agree with Sunil, graphite would suit your car better than gold would.

Simon,

I have the same wheels and I was going to go for graphite, on my green car. But to stop the colour from being too popular, I think you should go for gold!!!

Only kidding, I think graphite is the colour that will go well with your car!

Ian, my secret mission is to get everyone with a non dbm car to paint their wheels graphite and then us gold/dbm owners will be unique again!

graphite it is!

gold was always my 2nd choice but nice to get other thoughts/advice (special thanks to andy for trying to keep the graphite colour exclusive.)

I'm sorry, but I think graphite wheels would look pants on a red car!!!
But as I've yet to see it I guess I'll keep the jury out.
Can't someone superimpose them over an image of a red car for us all to laug...I mean look at?

Stef.

I saw a red Impreza with gold alloys in Enfield a couple of days ago and it really looked the business. I think you'll be happy with either as both will look better than the standard fellas

Gold is cool with red, but then I'm just a teeeensy bit biased.

Gold !

p.s. my 5yr old son now has unsurpassable cred since his dad got "gold wheels for his Scooby" (Scoob meant it was pretty high already)
