Arrow Opinions on Wheel Colour... 05+ STi... inc Poll

Hi Guys,

I have a Black 05 STi with the Enkei 5x114 Alloys.
They are in serious need of a Refurb, just not sure what colour would look best.

Stick with the Standard Gold or go for a darker Anthracite colour maybe?

The car is potentially going up for Sale this year sometime so i still want it to have sell-ability, and OEM sells generally, so leaning towards gold...

What do you think?

Cheers.

i'd probably go for black or something, but as your looking to sell your car, i would spray them oem gold to keep a factory look. But that's if the rest of your car is standard too.

Looks of People saying a darker colour, which i am coming round to the idea of.
Managed to get hold of a Grey one to offer up to the car, and look surprisingly good.
Car is Basically Standard bar a De-badged front grille/tailgate and smoked side repeaters. (so basically a stealthy look)

Even with darker wheels i dont think it would put off a potential buyer, as long as they are a tasteful colour and in keeping with the overall OEM+ look of the car.

Cheers for the input!
