As is.....when i saw "my12 rims" i thought yuk but they actually look really good on the GCs....

Which is good because they look shit on the MY12's.

Here are a few examples of wheel colours on blue GCs to get you thinking:

Gold:

[QUOTE=TheDoctor;686714]I know that now, thanks mostly to the availability of cheap Rotas, white is considered 'overdone' but I much prefer blue on white than blue on gold.

I guess it depends on the look you're after. In my mind:

WR Blue on gold = Rally Spec
Blue on white = Track Spec[/QUOTE]

Agree greatly. Blue on Black for track spec too.

Getting them re-powdercoated to silver would look good :-)

Personally I have always liked the gold but I reckon they do look good as they are from the pics.

Leave them as is for now, you can always change them later if your still not happy.

Those WRP10 gunmetal rims on the blue GC are a perfect match.

going to leave as is for a while, i really like both looks the rally look was initially what I was trying to achieve, the plans are to colour code the whole car, I have managed to source colour coded handles and mirrors since purchasing the car but not the side sils and spats.

Once colour coded I was thinking of a Carbon fibre P1 Splitter and foglamp covers colour coded, I am going to get my tints re done a little darker and possibly an STi rear Spoiler.

Once thios is done I will start on the engine with a few tasty mods.

Hey just on the off chance, what tyres would you recommend that are cheap say $125 -$140 a corner? cheaper if possible?

Blash 17-06-2012 10:56 AM

and where would you guys go?

kid 17-06-2012 11:02 AM

Wouldn't recommend cheap shit tyres at all....you drive a performance car, so get good tyres :)

But try tirerack or demontweeks which are overseas sellers....you will be able to get good tyres for a fraction of the price you pay locally.....that's what alot of people do.

Then just take them to your local Bob Jane for fitting and balancing (around $20 a corner)

Blash 17-06-2012 11:09 AM

demon Tweeks is the UK i think???

Its funny how we can get performance tyres cheaper in outside australia than it is to source locally......

I had a set of Toyo Proxes TR1 on my s2000 great in the dry but even better in the wet will look out for a set of those.

cheers again
