Wow, not bad.

I think they would look even better if I had them on the car.

Those are sweet rims and are definitely light weight. I want to get the exact same set except I have no idea on price and where I might be able to find a set. However, I don't want the silver color. I believe they make a black or darker color along with a gold color. I want to have black wheels and a carbon fibre hood on my Beige car. I think it should look sweet. Hey man throw me the price and maybe location where you are getting those rims. Thanks

The color of that wheel may not match up to good with the color of your car. Maybe you should get the darker colored ones and not tell Gefunk where to get them; hehehehe!

WOW! Gefunk; you must have been out of town last week. Mykl turned his WRX into a pretzel. You can search for the thread in the lounge, it has some scarry pics. And for the wheels; I don't think you guys will ever, just happen to run in to each other, considering your locations. So having the same wheels is not that big of a deal. Maybe someone could photoshop them on your car and we could judge which one looks better.

You uh, don't want what's left of my WRX, trust me.



As for the wheels, you can get them at www.tirerack.com . $280 a pop.

I didn't see a darker coler other than the silver, but they do have a white. Might look good on a white convertible as long as its close to the same color.

They may look a little funny in the picture, but I couldn't get the color matching right so they look a bit out of place. I think they look good.

I love the style of the wheel. But a silver wheel on a white car sometimes makes either the car or the wheel look dirty. Maybe in real life they will match up better.

I was going to suggest the gold wheel. I think gold wheels look really good on white cars. Pretty much all of my white cars in GT3 have gold wheels on them...

I think bronze wheels on a white car with a carbon fiber hood look good. Black on bronze wheels are easier to clean too.

I'd like anthracite or gunmetal, but if possible bronze would look good too.

Easy, thanks for the PS work!

I believe for our boltpattern you would be stuck with the anthracite color. We are a big OZ dealer out here and the forum provider of wheels.

I'd be more than happy to get you a club deal on these wheels. You can do a staggered fitment for the FC as well. They do not need to be symmetrical.

PM me and I'll give you pricing. Please contact me when you're ready to purchase as I'll make sure you won't turn away.

Thanks, Rishie

I feel bad for that GDA. Hope you get another or just wait for the Lancer. hehe.
