Question Rims, Rims, Rims

So I have become quite invested in purchasing myself a wrx sti. Ive done alot of research and I want the 2006 model in subaru blue. But I've been looking all around and I cannot find a single one with the signature gold rims as well. Ive found tons of other years (04 05) with this and only on black & white 06 subie's with them but not one blue one... Was the option not available in 06? are the silver and gold alloys the same quality just diff color?

Rims or wheels? They are 2 entirely different things.

Gold BBS were an option but honestly (but you can still buy them separately...), don't base your decision entirely on whether the car has them. You can always buy aftermarket wheels in any color, size, and style that you want -- maybe you might find one that you like better than the stock gold BBS?

i'd be more concerned about finding a car that's clean and un-abused before worrying about what color the wheels are. But that's just me

Exactly. I am SURE there are plenty of people who bought their cars and got the gold rims and didnt want them. Craigslist, these boards, you're bound to find a set of gold rims somewhere.

Find a good car, then worry about the ugly gold rims.
