see, i have the 03 wrx in midnight black, so i am stuck with some problems: 1. my car is not exactly black, so getting a black painted rim would look funky. 2. i was thinking about getting a gold rim, but that would also look bad, because, well, my car is not pure black. 3. I want polished lips with the biggest offset (48+ if possible)!!! what kind of rims would you guys put on a midnight-black wrx? I'm thinking colors like the ones on the prodrives (anthracite or something?), it looks like a flat silver. also, if you guys have some pictures with a midnight black wrx with nice rims, please post it up. *this might be a repost? but anyways HELP! thanks.
+1 for Antracite or a steel gray rim on Black. I had the Steel Gray Rota SDR's on mine...the gray was smoking on the black, IMO. Have some -- Gold also looks great on the MBP, as well. I swapped Rota Tarmacs in Gold with a buddy when I was in NJ...looked good, but I wanted something on the dark side.
I think gold rims would be cool...I'm really diggin the Volk line of rims lately but they are kinda pricey...
I don't think you really have to worry about the fact that mbp isn't exactly black. It's onyl in certain lights that you even notice the blue (at least for me). And even in that light, the only color wheels that may look weird would be black, but I doubt even that. I've seen wuite a few mbp wrx's with gold wheels and if you like gold wheels, you will definitely like them on the color. Maybe clemsonscooby can post some pics of his ride. I have still not made a decision what color wheels I would want (if I ever get around to getting them), but I'm mainly torn between bronze and gunmetal and sometimes black. Ifyou want to see a good selection of wheel colors on a mbp wrx I'd reccomend lokking through the gallery on subydude. Most of the wheels are rotas, but it will give you a good idea of what to expect from the colors. http://www.subydude.com/osc/gallery.php?osCsid=81fb7dc820408920d01d025368b516f4
The gold is hot. A buddy of mine convince me on them, and now I have two sets of gold wheels. I bought a set of slipstreams for autox and had them powder coated gold instead of the royal gunmetallic. Check out my profile though if you want some pics. http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=47
damn, i think anthracite with a polished lip would be a sick combo... i REALLY like milomans. something along that line would be great.
Dammit the color is BLUE!!! I like my prodrive, I will try to get a picture up soon. Well the side without C Rash. Wish I could afford the Volk! they are ths shiznit!
I'd throw on fareed's set of 5zigens! They're cheap and a great wheel. The only downside is that you'll need to roll the fenders to make it work for you. If you remember when you met up with me to buy the axelback, these are the same wheels I had.
gold is really growing on me....wouldn't work with what I have going on but, I think this looks sexay....minus all the stickers:
Here are some goldie pics for you on mbp. This guy used to be/is on one of the other forums I frequent. It's been cool because basically I've seen his car go from near stock to show winner (as well as road beast).
if you get the right rims, bronze definately looks awesome on black. ^ that one up there is pretty nice. i got some gunmetal wheels on mine kinda hard to see the wheels, ill try to get new pics when i get my springs on.
I like my setup... dark dark grey with polished lip: (yes, I only have this one pic of the car as of late...)
Dammm...I need to put those gold ones on the wagon...Joe, how much are you asking for your rims btw?. Mark
Bronze on black or wrb da shiznet. http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9494 (Ahem shameless insert plug) Thanks Alex
Another great choice...honestly, most rim colors look good with MBP. +10 Bronze +11 Black +11ty billion for Steel Gray.
