New Wheels
 

hi guys,

so excited that my cars now taking shape cosmeticly.

I couldnt contain myself any more so thought id post on here, I have today purchased some MY12 wrx rims for my 99MY, seen someone with some on a GC8 earlier this year and thought they looked boss......

Whilst I um and arrrrr about whether to powdercoat the wheels or paint the wheels gold or not I thought I would ask your opinions

I will upload a pic shortly so that you can see the rims up close to the car. I also now need to find some tyres to go on them..... the garage said I needed 215/45/17's but with a 50mm drop I am wondering if I should go for 215/40/17's?

Any thoughts

is this the one you saw?

not a fan of gold wheels, but if thats what you want go for it

215/40R17 is the correct size for the GC8. If it was 2001 (GD) onwards, it would need 215/45R17s. Just make sure the load rating is 87 or higher.

They look good like that mate especially against the lighter blue. If it were me I'd leave them as they are but in the end it's your car and your decision. You might as well have a go at photoshopping them gold; if you think it'll help you make your decision.

My 2 cent's worth is leave as is ..
Look nice the way they are..
