Default Wheel refurb and lowering ?

Would be grateful for some thoughts /views please. Bought my car back in June and can't decide whether to change the wheel colour and lower the car for a more aggressive look. What do you guys think ? Cheers.

Well, 14 days later, tints, lowering springs and wheels refurbished in charcoal/anthracite - I'm well happy with the end result.

Lovely car, had the same wheels/colour on my hawk STi, for a standard Subaru wheel I think they are stunning!!

Cheers. I can't believe how much different the car looks. I'm especially pleased with the wheel colour which to be honest, took me ages to decide what colour to actually go for. I was actually considering buying new wheels but the refurb has worked great.

Thanks. Yep, the 18" BBS wheels are nice but wasn't happy with hyper silver (appreciate colour is so subjective). For me, the darker colour has made such a difference to how they look on the car. I went with Eibach springs and am really pleased with the look and handling (had the alignment done too which has also made a big difference). Now just need to get the engine forged!!
