Goldies, Black, or Gunmetal?

IMO you'd like a little contrast to show off the wheels. I'd go with gold or (as suggested above) black w/ a polished lip.

gold = sexy (gets dirty fast only downside)
black or gun metal = stealthy looking and less maintenance

Black and Gold FTW

.....My STi is Black and I used to have black with polish lip wheels. But so did my buddies that have black cars. A Honda Accord, Nissan 240SX, BMW M3 , Honda Civic, and Toyota Yaris. <<<Yes, you heard right, a Yaris.....

I think Subaru's pull off the black and gold theme really well, and it's a color combo that turns heads. Plus, I didn't want the same color theme as a Yaris.

A black subaru with Gold w/polish lip wheels look SICK... That's my next set of wheels for me
