Agreed! Gold and blue mind you it looked OK on my STi V from a few years back.

I remember the days when gold carried a premium ie they were sought after

I think the gold wheels on my white classic look lush! (though they are curbed and scratched)

I know you've got a reputation for being a bit 'slow' on here but exactly how many years has it taken you to come to that conclusion?

As for the gold wheel thing obviously they are disgustingly tacky, along with stupid rear spoilers and crappy stickers all over people's cars.

Ultra loud exhausts,noisy dumb valves and the term 'Scooby' have harmed the poor old Impreza's image far more than gold wheels ever did

If that comment was meant for me I don't have a 'scooby' (I prefer the name Impreza- scooby sounds pathetic and juvenile). When I did have one it didn't have queer looking gold wheels and a useless, stupid looking surfboard spoiler.

Hope that answers your question.

Why not? It's good to share differing opinions with others, or do you prefer a slavish adherence to the ideals and values you believe in?

Your comment about 'Solberg' is mystifying, quite what a rally car has to do with the road going Subaru cars is lost on me.

The cars don't share the same design other than in outline shape and the only people that 'know them to be road going rally cars' are clueless morons.

Think the whole rally graphics and fastest thing around **** has damaged the image more then gold wheels.

In my opinion.
