Gold on White? part 1

HoOn 10-30-2003 12:27 AM

Gold on White?
Hi! I'm thinking of getting wheels for my White WRX. Gold wheels or not? Can you please post your choice and please explain.

I really appreciate your time! Thanks! ;)

You got my vote.
I think it's classy, especially with a classic wheel ; STi, Prodrive, OZ or a Rota copy...I've got "copy" P-1's.
I gotta say though if I had a white Sooby, I would look into Revolution rally wheels in white.
Rallyperformance.com has them with a pic. They are mother strong, I had a set on my '87 16v Scirroco in the day and NYC never broke them...

gold is good. Black is better...
imprezaboi 10-30-2003 02:27 AM

Gold looks awesome on white, but IMHO bronze lookes the best on white.

nekoball 10-30-2003 05:44 AM

gold on white is sexy, bronze looks really good too. black is a bit too dark on white for me. just my opinion though.
HoOn 10-30-2003 08:48 AM

Yes, for some reason I'm not fond of a black wheel on a white car beause it looks like there's no contrast. :(

Keep those suggestions coming in! =)

BTW ca you guys post some pictures of gold on white please? Thanks

Check this thread for pics. IMHO, anthracite/steel gray looks best :)

I didn't think that combo would look great until I went to a meet a few months back. One guy I was talking to had that color combo on his WRX and it really looked great.
HoOn 10-30-2003 02:43 PM

Is "Anthracite" the same as Gun Metal? Or it's more on the steel grey color? Lighter than gun metal?

Pretty much a dark gray/steel grey in color. Here's the Prodrive P1 Anthracite:

I have gold P1s on my 02 wagon. Love em. I was in the same boat as you before I bought them, but I am glad I made the decision.

If you are interested, when I get home I can post or email pictures. I think gold shows out much better on a white car then black or anthacite... adds a nice contract. But, of course, I am biased.

I am also concerned about gold rims giving off too much attention.

:confused: I'm still thinking...

Styley: please take some pictures! I wanna see those Gold P1s. =)

You should look into all colors... I know your set on gold though. I don't like the bling factor.
SubaH6 10-30-2003 05:47 PM

I have chamagne (light gold) on pearl white car and everyone says this is better than gold on white as the gold is too evident whereas the champagne is a nice complimentary color. I'd post a pic but I'm not too good at posting pics. The JPEG is too big.

Styley1 10-30-2003 07:06 PM

I was worried about the "cop magnet" factor from gold rims before I got them...

1 and a half years and no tickets. 1 verbal warning in NC for, as the nice officer put it: "Going all together too fast." Oops.

white and gold=best color combo
JonnySubaru 10-31-2003 04:02 PM

I love gold =)
I have Gold SDRs on my white wagon and love them. I was ambivalent for a while after several people approached me saying both positive and negative things about the combo.

Funny thing was that nobody ever noticed the car before =).
thrdeye 10-31-2003 04:20 PM

gold looks awesome on white.

WRXPRESS 11-01-2003 01:47 PM

as I stated before Gold looks absolutely amazing on white

BUT,

It sounds like you don't want to draw attention....
That combo will DEFINITELY draw attention....

Your not exactly driving a car that blends in tho...so what the hell
gerbs 11-01-2003 05:17 PM

it would look awesome, gold dubz look marvelous on black/white finishes ;)

i have anthracite P1's on my black rex. They would look fabulous on white, but so would gold. Basically, you can't lose with gold or gunmetal :cool:


I wish I bought a white WRX :(
migs76 11-02-2003 11:48 AM

wait...you bought your own rex? if memory serves me correctly....

The above is the rim/color combo I will be going on my white STi when I get it.
HoOn 11-02-2003 10:58 PM

Okay! After thinking of the wheel choices for my White WRX I finally picked Anthrocite Prodrive P7 Wheels. I would have loved the gold rims but I just thought that it would give off too much attention. I want a nice and subtle look.

What do you all think? =) I like it! :banana:

gerbs 11-02-2003 11:05 PM

well that was a huge waste of voting :rolleyes: :p


IMHO the gold would look A LOT better than the anthracite against the white finish, but i'm glad you did what you felt looked best.

(btw ummmmm, why did you bother buying rims if your goal wasn't to give off alot more attention then if it was stock? especially such expensive/good quality ones :o )

Okay, here's the whole story... ehhehe Someone was selling this and it was too good to pass up. The wheels and tires are in very good condition. No scratches! I don't think the voting was wasted because other people with White WRX' can benefit from this information. =)

edit: suspect they are 18"

I still don't get the dark wheel fad. From a distance, it looks like you are missing your hubcaps or that your wheels are covered in brake dust.

noooooooooo! silver on white is BAD!

White and Gold = teh goodness

(JC's white and gold RS inspired me to get white when I was buying an RS, since I already had gold wheels. Unfortunately, I had to settle with silver, which my goldies just clash with. Poor goldies :( )

One of the best color combos too me.

OneManArmy 12-16-2003 03:51 PM

sweet....I have been running the same issue.

I may get gold Speedlines...been wanting em for a while.

I also have been looking into a dark bronze which I think would look sick...or antracite/british black. I have a white wagon but with the full tint and the black racks darker wheels would probably look better than gold.

But yeah...gold rips.
