Q. Are the graphics defo going?

You say you want a new look for 2009,

so therefore the gold has to change as thats what you have now. Personally I like the black gold, but it does look like every other ordinary scoob out there.

Anthracite, on a black car just looks like a half measure.

Black, obviously I liked this look, and still do.

White will stand out, but will be a pig to live with. Haven't you already done white wheels? (cossy).

Silver - just no.

Pink - yer why not!

Black with red detail, ok but not sure.

tbh, I think it is much tougher to get right on a black car than any other colour.

Nail on the head there Neil. If i had the cash id have the car sprayed white but thats not an option so its a rim change for me. I really like the compomotives but can bring myself to swap some 9kg Speedlines for some 11kg Compos.

Yes i have done white before and i think they suited the saff but i dont know if the Impreza can pull it off.

None of the colours really make me jump up and down...

I like white wheels, but I'm not sure the Turinis will look that great in white.

Fozz, the Turini is still a group N wheel and lots of the rally boys run em in white.

White is one of the only colours that suit it without question.

Its the other colours that will be tought to pull off.

Notice all the guys running the TA style seem to use a wheel that has big spokes with wide openings. Not so sure the turini will cope with it.

My 2p worth...

Imho, white looks cack... might work with Comp Mos or thicker spokes but not with the Turinis.

Gold is done to death, looks too bling and you want to change anyway.

Silver works but is just a bit dull.

Previously I thought the black with red lip was lovely, but think I agree that maybe the spokes are too close to pull it off.

Satin black is the winner for me.

As an alternative, how about the silver spokes but black lip... similar to the Gobstopper?

Tis a toughie!!

if not, black with blue rim and small blue stickers would look a bit different, you know blue sti badges etc......

tough call though !!!
ps: love the wheels you have already... spent the money on more kites!!!
