If so, the Gold will looked absolutely lovely with your Pink Mica car!!!

If you are NOT gay then for foooook sake get them coated!!

I took the 17" anthracies off my P1 and put on the 18" golds. It looked ok to begin with but I'd much rather have anthracite ones. I could get them powder coated, but I haven't seen anybody who can powder coat the exact colour as the P1 anthracite.

Very true...the anthracite colour is a total b1tch to match...plus u loose the oz logos on the rims. the powdered ones in the pic above are a very different colour to the actual P1 anthracite.

My vote is keep the gold rims and spray the car white!

Ultimate combo (version 5 sti type R in white with gold rims...oooh it makes me go all wobbly thinking about it)

Gold wheels are NOT gay despite what some people (probably in denial themselves - most of them use the term 'chav' at the drop of a hat too ) on here say...but anthracite would look best with mica red

I'd go for a light anthracite. Like a silver wheel with a little brake dust on. I think that would look best

I personally don't like the grey alloys ( easier to say than Anthracite) .
will change them at some time to natural colour alloy . So if anybody wants to swap alloys then let me know ( of course I have to like them) .
