Before you commit to any STi wheels, just consider this: How cute would these bear wheels look on your car? Yeah? Huh! Come on, you know you want them.

EDIT: looks like Trieu got to them first unless he is kindly directing them in your direction

Mano, keep in mind the set for sale is silver, and that it's highly not recommended you powder coat the STi wheels because of the way they were manufacturered, and may effect the integrity.

May not be 100% the case mate. The importer of BBS, Prodrive etc etc etc has powder coated all types of rims including compounds that include magnesium & also forged... Only type that has not been tried is forged magnesium rims, but when they are like 4k a rim, why would you bother changing the colour

The STI rims (& I'm not 100% on this) would still be an alloy wheel that is "flow formed" to give it lighter weight.

In fact, in theory, powder coating rims should be lighter weight then painting as they only use approx 50 microns to coat the rim, where as painting would involve more like 700 microns.

I stand corrected! In that case Mano should get those bear wheels and powder coat them charcoal.

Mano, what do you think of these?
