Question Help in finding the Correct Alloys (STI8)

I was looking to change the standard Alloys on my STI 8, which is in Black.

I will be getting the windows tinted hopefully in the next few weeks.

I am little unsure of what wheels to put on the car, i have found many pics but i am still unsure!

I found this pic, unsure whos car it is, but if anyone knows i wanted to see more pics as i do like these wheels in Black. However it alos seems this car has been lowered??

My car has the gold Gliter effect and was also thinking the same alloy in Gold...

Any help and pics appriciated...

Cool

I have been having the same dilemma with my Black STi!

I have always been torn between the Prodrive PFF7's and the Speedline Turini's, the PFF7's seem to be very common now though.

After seeing this pic of someone elses car yesterday I think I may have made up my mind.

Speedline Turini's


I think it looks awesome, although I suspect it has also been lowered.

Fancy a group buy?

Mine is the one in the front of this picture with the standard wheels, the car behind has Bright Flitter PFF7's fitted.

This also looks fantastic.



BUT.....this is a photoshop (no...really? ) and I think the wheels are off a Veilside Supra or something. Have been unable to find out exactly what wheels they are.

There is a group buy on for these wheels at the moment.

Rota GRA



I think they are available in Gun-metal type colours.

These look really hardcore, absolutely love 'em!!!


I've got the PFF7's (but on a blue bugeye) and have always wanted to try the Turini's, I think they look great.......especially in silver - just that little bit different from gold, good choice Mr Fozz
