I'm really struggling choosing a colour for a new set of rims. I've got a champagne gold Evo 8 with the stock rims which are a little too small and too similar in colour to the paintwork.

I've been looking at some Work Emotions and Enkei's but really struggling on a colour/finish. Does anyone have any recommendations for colours/finishes they've seen on other evo 8's?

For reference:

They will fit, but you will need coilovers and guard work plus plenty of negative camber!

Something in black/charcoal will suit... Or titanium Ultraleggera's if you can afford!

Ultraleggeras are about $500 each atm...

Thanks Jimmy,
Coilovers not a problem, they are already installed. When you say guard work does that mean rolling it. I was under the assumption that I could raise the ride height to avoid it. Plus, I'd clear speed bumps easier so killing two birds with one stone

I was looking at those ultraleggeras, i'll photoshop them over the weekend. I was thinking about a bronze finish but i'm not sure about dark rims.

What kind of work is required to get a set of 18 x 7.5 CR Kai's on an 05 WRX?

Anyone have any suggestions for a set of 17" gunmetal/black wheels for a 2005 silver WRX (17's as the tires are new)?

Rota - If you are looking for an Rota FORCE 17x7.5 5x114.3 ET45 White Set of 4 Wheels click here Rota Australia

Thanks

Clear brembos yes, fit on your car no as they're 114.3 which is 05sti onwards and you need 5x100.
