Talking Help with Colour

Hey guys need your help to decide, i have a rally blue 2000 Wrx and need help deciding which wheels to get, either gold (for rally look), white or dark grey for street.

In Aus the gold go for about 2k the white 1k and grey for 2k again. Give me some ideas of what you feel has been overdone and what looks good on the blue rex.

The car is on page 20 of blue subaru's in member rides

Thanx guys

I think the rally blue and gold looks a bit overdone and "me, too" here in the states. But it's really a matter of your choice and how the colors are percieved where you live. As for gold painted wheels costing twice the amount of white or any other painted wheels... what's up with that? That's just a scam. Paint is paint.

I really like the gold on wrb look, if I could afford it, I would get the gold 17" jdm V7 sti wheels.

Smile Thanx guys

Yeah, the gold and gunmetal cost more due to being a better wheel. Down here in Aus gold has been the most prevelant, but now white is taking off, but i still luv the raly look, and gunmetal on blue looks good but darkens the body's colour. THose sti wheels cost a fortune! lol original WRX mags from the bug eyz model cost $890 each man i could only imagine the Sti

Thanx again

What about black with a polished lip? That looks real good on a blue car.

Actually to me, looks a bit tacky... definitely clashes with the colour of the vehicle, as does gunmetal...

A nice Royal colour would be: Silver with Polished Lip.. THAT would look sharp on a blue wrx...

and remember NO CHROME, or your subaru badges will one day anonymously be replaced with cadillac symbols
