Soo…I’ve been thinking lately, do I really want to spend the extra $$$ and buy summer tires/rims? Not that I’m cheaping out, but here’s my idea…
Sandblasting and powder-coating my stock rims gold (almost like the STI gold rims) and then lowering the car via Eibach pro-kit.
^that color.
Also, if anyone could photoshop my the car lowered with gold rims that’d be sweet, I’m just playing with ideas right now before I go ahead with stuff for spring.
Thanks!
^^Pictures for anyone that could photoshop this for me (sorry the bad quality, its from my phone)

ehhh I dunno about white/tan/gold. I say burrow a wheel or 2 from an STI owner and see what the color would look like on the car before you do anything.

me too, i figured that the wheel gap is horrendous, so keeping the wheels, refinishing them and lowering the car might be the way to go?

A better offset would make the car look better though, I would get some new/used wheels if your not looking to break the bank.

I’m disappointed. Before I started reading I thought you bought an STi. :tif: on the bronze, it will look about the same either way.
