Default 2007 STi rims...

Is it just me or do all white STi's come with gold rims. Was wondering if anyone has pics of the silver on a white? Selling my Elise now and will be in the market in the near future for a white 2007 STi.

yes all 07 STi's come with gold wheels, but you would have no struggle with trading someone for silvers.

Not all 07 STis come with gold BBS'. Look at Subaru.com at each color, and those are the wheel colors that usually come with the car colors.

07's white, Satin White Pearl only comes from the factory with gold. Now you can talk to the dealer and try and trade for the silver rims.... but seriously, you should keep the gold, they match the gold hue in the white paint great!

Not sure what you all are talking about as you can spec out a white on silver on the Subaru web site. So I am 99.99999999% sure you can get an STI in that combination. The web site lists it as a 0$ option.

True, but it should be a crime to put anything but the gold rims on the white. It just looks so much better than silver (on white at least).

I think all the white and blue 07s came with gold wheels. I wanted a blue one with silver wheels and was unable to get it. I love my OBP though, and i'll apologize in advance for my love of pic whoring

For the 07s, per Subaru.com:

SWP and WRB only come with Gold rims
OBP, CGM, and UGM only come with silver rims.

'07 was the only year they did that. Previous years you could order any combination. But for some reason, they fixed what rims could come with what color for the last year.

The ExigeS is quite the little beast. I'm still getting used to it, but the steering is unbelievablly accurate, just think and it goes there. The brakes are something to behold, better than the Brembos on my STi, which are awesome. My 04 STi does DD and winter duty, the Lotus does weekends only.
How did you enjoy your Elise? Any tips
