When will the fad ever end with people painting their wheels ridiculous ricer eye-blinding neon colors? Do people honestly think they look good?

MitchBorden · 11-14-2012, 01:19 PM

I have a Lightning red 2012 STI sedan base model. Currently have stock rims on the car. I've been thinking of what color to paint the rims. I just wanted to hear some opinions. What colors look good with the red body.

Once I make a decision and get them painted, I'll defiantly post pictures!

Thanks everyone.

I have a black JNA lip on the car now. And yes I was thinking black rims, but to me it seems like you don't see black rims very well on a red car. Still an option for me though

Appreciate the response!

I really like my duplicolor bronze wheels on my red OBS, the color combo looks great and brake dust doesn't show too bad.

You can find it at most auto parts stores, it's sold as a wheel paint.

Anyone have pics of painted 11-13' wheels?

GrimmSpeed · 11-26-2012, 12:06 PM

Here are a couple of shots of my painted winter steelies

Got tired of looking for a decent set of 04 BBS, found something even better.
They are coming to me painted this semi-matte black. Apparently these were an option from 02-04 WRX, 5 x 100. Yep, they are 17" BBS. Yep, they are forged. Yep, they are all of 15 lbs. Think I might paint them hot pink or neon green. They will be fitted to (in the summer anyway) an 07 WRX Ltd. in WRB. Def. pink, yeah probably go pink...

Very nice. I never had any luck finding sixteen inch steel wheels and ended up with an extra set of RS wheels I picked up. I always thought a steel set painted red with trim rings and a hub would look pretty cool.

All those new Imprezas with sixteens look really out of proportion, like the old Suzuki Arieo.

I've heard of people running wheels as big as 26" and 28", but 11-13 feet would be HUGE!

That's a helluva score. Painting them pink seems like a waste, but who am I to say...

...i would never...

sc00by4life · 12-01-2012, 02:30 AM

I wouldn't say the optional 02-03 bbs are better, they are only 7" wide.

True. They would still look sweet with 215s and wheel spacers

paved1 · 12-04-2012, 04:41 AM

I would have to go ahead and say these optional BBS wheels ARE better in every way. While every other Subaru and their Sister is rockin' the 04-07 STi BBS wheels, I'm going to have a set of BBS wheels made explicitly for a WRX. Count how many STi BBS wheels are at your next meet, then count how many sets of these optional WRX BBS wheels are there. As I drive a WRX and not an STi, this gives them an even more cool factor. Simply putting the word optional in front of anything means there were less of them sold, which equals rarity, which= BETTER.
And while these wheels are 7" wide and not 7.5" wide, they are almost a full pound lighter than the 04's and a full 4 lbs. lighter at each corner than the 05-07's. That's 4-16 pounds lighter over all. Last I looked lighter= BETTER. All while wearing the same 225/45/17's.
Plus, imagining these wheels in your favorite color be it factory bright silver, matte black, or hot pink even, these wheels are f***ing good looking. Not that STi BBS wheels aren't but yeah, these are BETTER.
Yeah, I'd say Better is the exact word I would use to describe these wheels.
Wait, wait, were these even offered in the states? Might they be, could they be, are they JDM? Holy crap, everyone knows JDM is BETTER than USDM. Nah , they couldn't be. That'd be too much better. They're better but certainly not THAT much better...

Can I get a profile shot? I have the same wheels on my 09 OBP. I have a color in mind, but they do look good in black.
