if you don't have your mind made up yet, may i suggest a set of bronze volk te37 or advan rc2's? the white/anthracite look is a bit drabby, IMO. gold on white sets it off; bronze on white is a bit more subtle.

nice looking car. I have a white '04 WRX wagon. Like the guy said above..some nice gunmetal rims would set it off.

I second the gunmetal rim suggestion, it'll set off the clean white and clear nicely. First ones that came to mind were 17 or 18 gunmetal rota torques.
Keep it clean, simple, and understated... you will be the envy of many

...including me


one more thing though... why Ebay rotors? I'm guessing they are one of those f/r sets which are machined by some other company than the one that manufactures the rotor. On the pic of the rear rotor, it looks like the holes closest to the outside are dangerously close to the edge. Since it's in the rear, it probably won't happen, but a cracked rotor can be somewhat catastrophic at freeway speeds (when it's most likely to happen). My worry with rotors machined not be the manufacturer is that they are manufactured solid to specifications to maintain integrity, but when the structure is altered (drilled/slotted), it may compromise this integrity. I'm not trying to get you not to install them, I'm just giving you a heads up because I've never seen this issue discussed. Everyone, please tell me what you think about this. Am I just being paranoid?
I certainly agree with structural intergrity issue since I partly manage a collision repair center. I would definitely look into what's involved in drilling and slotting those rotors....as far as strength is concerned.

as far as wheels go, I would probably get Superleggeras, but if budget doesn't allow it it will be Rota Torques.

You know what I was thinking, since its white and "TODAY" im feeling old school, I say flip it up and do some pastels with it. maybe a nice baby blue with bronze wheels and a hind of navy somewhere. Have you seen the RSX that looks like that, it has white wheels. Maybe you would want white wheels! they can be worked but you have to be careful and no over do it. Maybe freak the pink, you know pink is in big with the hip hop scene right now and very pink on the JDM scene. Its a color where you can be like, "oh you think pink is gay" then as you smoke em in a race, you can say, "No my friend you are gay". hahah ok its early i have to work now, I ride the bus for the town and make sure the wheels turn properly.
