Best color of wheels to go on a silver Sti???
�

Hi All,

Im thinking of either getting aftermarket wheels or painting my stock BBS's. I want a darker color to hide the brake dust. I have it narrowed down to 3 colors gunmetal, flat black, or glossy black.

Which color do you think looks better on a plat. silver sti? Also, any pics you can post of a silver wrx/sti with any of the above colored wheels would be greatly appriciated :) .

Also keep in mind that I plan to go wingless very soon.(not that this will affect wheel color choice)

Thanks,

Jay

Honestly? Lime green rims are the best choice. And get that mirror-finish tint on your windows to go with it. Then put a streaky 80s-looking decal along the sides of the car, and you could be a veritable babe magnet.

I have think silver WRX with gold wheels;like, volk le28n w/polished lip, advan rg1 or 2. Like that chargerspeed STi photo, damn... thats nice. If you get black wheels it won't stand out, don't tell me you want to pay $1k - $3k of wheels and not show it off.

Deff, i have a silver STI and thats what im doing. Im getting them painted a gun metal. I cant justify selling these whells. They are too nice. I would not be able to afford an equivalent wheel.

Gunmetal/anthracite. I had P1's in antracite and they looked awesome. You can't even see the brakedust, really. They just loose their glossy look.
