    Which color for silver 05 sti wheels

    I personally like the stock BBS' wheels, they seem to have a pretty good strength to weight ratio. unfortunately stock wheels or at least stock color wheels are not very appreciated at shows and meets, specially while being surrounded by heavily modified STIs. now I have two options. one, I can...
