Aftermarket wheels

OK, need some votes:

05 WRX Wagon, Crystal Grey Metallic.

Want some 17" wheels and can't decide on color.

Black? Silver? Chrome? Gun metal?

All I know right now is that the stock wheels are ugly and I want them
changed.

I have a blue '04 wagon and I went with gold rota tarmac. I only like dark
rims(black or gunmetal) with polished or machined lips. I think silver
would be nice. Goto scoobydude.com and check out all the pix of cars.

White steel wagon wheels, like the old Brat. You could also spray
them black for that NASCAR look.

Why would you care what a bunch of anonymous folks think are the right
wheels for your car? <G>

I prefer black wheels. I especially like cheap black steel wheels, but they
hardly look cool to the average passerby.

If you ask me, chrome just doesn't look right on a Subie. Silver or
gunmetal would look good though.

My suggestion- go to www.tirerack.com

They have a fun little tool that you can use to see what
different wheels look like on your car.
When you get to the web site click on the 'Shopping tools'
link in the upper right hand corner. You can then enter
the year, make, model & color of your ride. It then offers
you a bunch of different wheels that it will display on a
picture of your car. Pick out some and see what looks
good!

Have fun,

Thanks for the suggestion. Already did that prior to posting. Turns out
there are 61 rim choices for the WRX and EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM IS SILVER OR
CHROME!!!! And yes, I selected "all" on the colors pulldown. TireRack has
a nice tool, but its incomplete. Half of the rims they show come in colors
other than chrome or silver, but do they show them? Nooooooo!

Anyway, I'll keep looking.

If you can freight the car to Australia, I'll gladly invest a considerable
amount of time in roadtesting all the available options then posting
photographs of the results. Cheers

They have gold BBS's, bronzeish OZ Superleggara's, and a half dozen
SSR comps that aren't silver or chrome. But then, you didn't say you
wanted gold.

I agree that the Tireracks tool is very incomplete. They only list 2 choices
in 17" for my wife's car (VR4) yet I know many others fit. Maybe some day.

Ragnar, you gave up too easily. Go back and enter your car as a
2004 model. Same car. Don't think they have fully entered all the
applications for the '05 models yet.

Anyway, you will be able to see your ride outfitted with wheels in-

Chrome
Silver
Gold painted
Anthracite painted
Ultra diamond tech
Light gray
Black w/ anodized lip

Maybe more. I didn't check all the photos.
