Default PFF7 Alloy Colour - Crystal Grey HawkEye

Recently bought a crystal grey 2006 hawkeye sti impreza.

Im looking at upgrading the alloys to some prodrive pff7's

have seen the speical offer revolution has on at the minute (which seems like a great offer)

but im just unsure what colour to get the alloys in?

they have silver, dark silver, bright flitter and gold in stock?

Im leaning towards gold or bright flitter but can make my mind up. what does everyone think would look best?

Does anyone have pictures of pff7 in gold or bright flitter on a crystal grey hawkeye?

Best of the wheels on a budget are Team Dynamics Prorace 2. Go Dark.

thanks for the replies.

quite like the bright flitter colour, just not sure it makes the car look to plain. if you know what i mean.

any one got any other ideas for wheels on a grey hawk?

You are right IMHO, looks lost on CG. Go Anthracite, bronze, black something to bring out the colour of the GC. Gunmetal works well too.

I was going to paint my PFF7's black, but I already have 3 sets of wheels excluding those for my SPecD so I am going to fit these next summer. Colour is anthracite.

Hi

For the Hawkeye STi we have these wheels still available in either Bright Flitter or Gold, it is for the earlier cars with the 5x100 stud pattern that we only have the Bright Flitter left, have a look at the below thread as we have reduced these wheels even more!

Thanks

Thats where i quite like the standard gold wheels on my Sti but have heard the gold of the pff7 is brighter. If it is it might look abit naff.

I do think BF might be abit light for Crystal grey but cant get seem to find any darker coloured prodrives anywhere at a decent price.

yeah the GT1's are well nice but at £1060 + Tyres i wont be getting much change out of £1500.

Where i could get some PFF7 with Toyo's P1 for just over a £1000

im only really looking at spending about 1k if im honest.

Hiya Y2,

If you're still about, what did you go for in the end?

Looks like I'm set to get a grey hawkeye

The power of Google plus a forum member who has paid for their Photobucket as it would appear

I reckon Bronze would look quite nice with Crystal Grey


I had my blob colour changed to urban Grey a few years ago and I have just had my Rays Wheels painted in 507 Saturnrot Metalic (Merc colour). I know it sounds weird but but actually works quite well. I will try to get some photos sent to me as my car is away having work done.

Pic to show colour
