Hi all was there a specific model / version of the wrx that had gold alloys. I'm seeing a lot of cars that do and don't have them... It's confusing while trying to find a 'stock' car

The standard WRX wheel is this one and the gold one is the sti one, subtle difference, Some after market wheels will be better than the standard rim so sometimes its a good thing if they have been swapped, Boot spoilers... the WRX had a low level one a bit like an ironing board and the sti had a large high rise one, None of which are like the one above as that was a specal edition WRX

Ok sorry to be a little dumb but auto trader sellers tend not to be specific on actual variants so fo a newbie such as myself is a little hard to work out what's stock and wat ain't if you get me..

Ok so any wrx I see that is 'just' wrx should have A flat spoiler and silver wheels. So many have high rise spoilers...

I have a friend with a bug Wrx. It has the standard Wrx wheels but they're gold and came like this from the factory.

The only way to be certain on models is from the model No on the vin plate. Often people try to make a standard car look like an STI, which is fair enough as long as you know what you are buying.

That makes sense and I can always swap wheels. Spoilers thrown me though. I'll open a diff thread bout that

My Classic has gold wheels and from the paperwork that came with it it had these from new - UK Turbo, year 2000 model.
