Default BOV and Rims

Hay guys,
I want to buy a BOV and some new rims for my car but not sure on what is a good price to pay and what one to get. i heard the supersonic BOV are good? I was thinking black rims on a black WRX might look good or even those black and silver ones. help me out here guys.
Thanks
AzzA

1. You DON"T want a BOV...standard is best
2. Titanium rims look good on a black car

BOV anywhere from $50 $500 sound is upto you.

try tech 9 tires website for some good indication on rims, prices, offsets....

I have a turbosmart one on the RS. Closed shut so it wont be heard. Will most likely go back to a stock setup when I can be bothered.

Bov's are gayer than 6 men being fucked by 12 men.

As for rims, 1k doesnt give huge options. Ultrex or go see tech9. Expect China's finest melted fishing boats for that price.

I think BOV's are just annoying tbh... you will get sick of it pretty quickly.

As above check out the Ultrex rims.. they will look nice on your bug.. and get a front lip and clear indicators and it will look the business.

Well for rims ex-stock Perth and under $1000 go see Wei at Vision R as he has good stocks for 18" Rotas that would suit your car.
