SO do the the current economic situation i just dont feel good going and spending a ton of money on rims. Mayeb i will paint maybe i will find a cheap set. Anyway

I was wondering what people think about white rims though. I havent seen to many on subies but I have a theme i am trying to keep with the car and thought white rims would roll nice with it. I dont really want black or gun metal cuz i still want it to look clean. BUt let me know thanks in advance

These are the only pics i have with the white lights. I guess what i am asking will it look too ricer to have white rims?

The wife and i were just arguing about it. she said she doesnt want me to do it or she will feel embarrased driving it. I think it will look really good. i just wanna make sure that it would. not that i really give a **** what people think when it comes to my car if i really have my mind set to something but its nice to have another opinion/ plus more fuel for my fire to get her with. hahaha

Good choice. If the wife feels embarassed, maybe she'll drive it less? Hehe.

Anyhow, I've been thinking about some white rims for mine. I'm thinking 7-10 spokes, probably powdercoated if the ones I decide on don't come white from the factory. Prodrive has some white six spokes, and Sport Compact Car mag put 'em on their '08 project WRX. Course, they later painted them gold, so go figure. Tire Rack has two white models, one of which is a Gramlight, I think.

Let's see those pics.
