Why did you remove the mud flaps?

If I remember correctly then they don't look to be the standard WRX wheels, they are the ones that came on the STI, similar but with more dimples around the edge. You are supposed to be able to get larger brakes behind them too.
Car looks nice! If i'm honest my Blob WRX suited me better than the Hawk STI, it was a lot easier to live with on a day to day basis, far more comphy and easier to drive.

Same colour as my blob wrx. Think they look great. As somebody said on here the other day
'they look clean even when there not!'
I changed the bonnet scoop for the STI version an think it looks a lot meaner. I fancy upping the performance next but no idea where to start yet!
Enjoy it mate

Keep the oem wheels bud, can come in handy if you hit a pot hole or want to get the gold ones refurbished at a later date.

Nice car mate, love the grey. Let's see how long it takes before you start Spending. I was like you, waited years to get one and bought one standard. Took about a month the bug hit me.... So did the Visa bill a month later. Worth it tho!

I prefer anything than gold wheels on a silver car, but that's my personal choice!

Good luck with the mods
