Gold Wheel Days Numbered?
When I joined this BBS, oh, many years ago I asked why Subaru put Gold Wheels on their cars ...... I just thought they were hideous and spoke volumes about your masulinity - or not, in this instance!
I was practically hung, drawn and quartered!!
Now, it appears, 5 years down the line, that the tide has swung well and truly into my way of thinking .... am I right??
No-one, surely, can think Gold Wheels are anything other than outdated, tacky, gay icons of a bygone age??
Finally, I may see the day when Gold Wheels are laughed out of town!!

Maybe PSlewis should go away and do a spell check before posting again?
That was his suggestion to me in a different thread a couple of weeks ago!!
I've just bought a set of gold alloys for my WRX, some people like them, some hate them. At the end of the day, I'm not going to start worrying about what people think of them!

Before I could afford an impreza and lusted after one I hated gold wheels and thought never never. Now I've got a scoob, I love my gold wheels. They're extremely naff but surely thats the point if you want a car that stands out a bit.

Like saying every idiot out there has red brick houses, but that doesn't make stone cladding right!!!

Got my first Imprezza only a few months ago . . .Before I got it, I was always of the school that gold wheels were tasteles and very vulgar . .However, once at the dealership, I found them to be very cool and seductive! Come on . .Its practically the Subaru trademark! It makes an outstanding car get noticed even more!
Just not the same without them . .

I have the best of both worlds, 'cause I don't clean my wheels that often....
Therefore they are anthracite for normal day-to-day driving, and I clean them up to gold for special occasions!!
