What wheels for a silver Hawkeye WRX
Hi,I am thinking of changing my stock WRX wheels for 18 inches to "take advantage of the extra torque" from the PPP. I seem to remember long time ago sites where you could see a picture of a car and choose the alloys to see the overall effect.I am thinking staying silver or perhaps anthracite/grey.Any pictures suggestions ?(Please no gold suggestions )

The black looks good. 
I see several people talking about re-spraying the wheels. Perhaps this is an option before making my final descision. Where I get this done? I live in Berkshire.

I have re-sprayed a few sets of wheels myself with rattle cans. Available from Hellfrauds and other outlets! 
Always had decent results so long as you prep them well and primer them well beforehand.
Alternatively any car body shop will be able to do it.
You could get them powder coated, but its not advised. Quite a few have had wheels cracking after this process due to the high heating temperature required to cure the powder coat.

Silver car?
My choice, as always, are Speedline Turini's 8x18 in anthracite.
You know these will be good as Speedline make the Subaru PFF7's
