I wish we had roads like those

Thanks everyone! I'm going to try and get some better vids this weekend. For some reason the sounds cuts out during the overrun on most of them. Crappy iPhone! Friend has an HD camera so will try and use that.

Also trying to get a camera mounted to the back to take some in motion sound clips!

VMR looks much better than OZ in my opinion

So, after seeing way too many white cars with black rims, I decided I needed to stand out more. So, I had the rims custom painted a matte bronze. Depending on the light, they go from slightly more gold (without being 90's Subaru Gold) to more brown. Personally I love them, but seem to be getting mixed feedback. They contrast the car perfectly, and match the Titanium Akrapovic tips well too.

Hey Con, this second series of shots with the matte bronze wheels are great. Look way less Subaru gold than when you first posted on Watercooled.

Huge improvement on the black too, you can nowcsee the detail in thw wheel design. Great choice.

Thanks mate. I think they turned out great. Always hard to tell when you custom mix the paint. They've gotten darker since they dried up completely so even better. There were some bright lights going off during the shoot, so that's why they might look a little more gold. But in real life they're really not at all.
