Chrome Wheels for STi

JamesonSTi · 11-14-2007, 09:52 PM

I just recently bought my 04 STi. It currently has 17X8 Rotas that are gold. I dont really like bronze wheels, so I have thought about putting some chrome wheels on instead and just using the Rotas with slicks for autocross. I think I want to go with 18s. Does anyone have any pics of their STi with chrome wheels. I would perfer to see some with a lip. Thanks!

Crome looks like a$$

+1 to that

The only "chrome" that would come close to my car would be a Rays Metal Coat finish.

yeah chrome is more for corvettes, cameros and mustangs. I have yet to see a sti with chrome wheels that looked good. But prove us wrong, right? Its your car man, do whatever makes you like the car even more. But please be very selective with the wheel choice.

It can look good on white. I have a pic on my computer that I can't remember where I got I can email you.

Yeah I have seen a couple in white. They look alright. I kind just want to be different from the crowd. I am going to continue my search for the right wheel. Any suggestions on the width and off set to clear the brembos for an 18 inch wheel.

Chrome wheels =

Maybe try one of the hyper solver or hyper black type colors.

Since these are just going to be for the street (right?), I would say an 18x8, +48 (or something close to that) would be ideal.

18" Hyper Black Torques:

Please no!

I was thinking of some wheels more like this. I think they look better with a lip.

Yeah those are okay. Reaffirms me though that the Chrome does look good on the STi. I just dont like that particular spoke design. When I get them on there I'll post pics up and see what you guys think...might change your mind once they get put on.

The first ones are HORRIBLE.

The second ones aren't much better. Don't get chrome.
