Default Changing ESX wheels!

Can anyoone give me some feedback on what wheel they think would look good on the 2005 Red Esx Sti...kind of getting sick of the red ones that came with the car...i was thinking something darker maybe a carbon color titanium or a black...let me know if you see one around. I was thinking of getting a carbon fiber body kit and a carbon fiber hood and doing some body work on the car as well so keep that in mind as well.

Appreciate it soooo much thnx guys!

I think maybe some black wheels with a polished lip would look good on a red car. Don't know of any off the top of my head though.

i think you need to get your car painted something other than red. Then choose wheels after that.

You should mod your car more first and stop getting beat by stage 2 STI's.

how much are you looking to spend is the question. you spend 45k on a car hopefully you're ready to spend more than 1k on wheels and tires.

no no no no. You typed in www.iwsti.com not www.nasioc.com.

Go back there if you are going to flame people for no reason.

I'd go with something in a gunmetal color, or dark silver.
And don't go with anything less than 8" wide.

Maybe some Volk ce28 titanium color.
