i want peeps opinions, im going to upgrade from the tiny standard gold rims on my classic STI to a larger alloy, but do i go for another gold set or black? The car is black btw.

 

the tiny gold wheels as you put it look like this?

Don't go up to 18" imo, stick with what you have or go with 17"s

 

nowt wrong with gold

 

yeah there the ones. iv only ever had 17's in the past but with these tiny ones i cant get the tyres that i want, plus the brake dust on the gold is over obviouse.

 

Brake dust will always be there, but a better quality compound normally does the trick.

What tyres do you want, I have never had a problem finding the correct profile/width/diameter for 16's?

18's may cause rubbing issues, you could wreck the arches by rolling them to run a wider profile or run concrete springs. As said nowt wrong with gold.

 

green

 

and get some monster stickers too?

Wouldn't go bigger then 17's on classics IMO
Also nothing wrong with Gold, if brake dust is excessive then change the pads and try a different brake compound!

 

I am leaning more to 17's. It's not the excessive brake dust it's just that it shows up like a bit#h lol. Plus my current alloys are destroyed and need refurbing beyond belief

 

Black has been done to death, Silver looks nice and subtle, but always had a soft spot for gold and black!!
