A lot of folks saying bronze but I'm really not a fan of it. Looks nice, but not for me personally. Think I'll keep em black for now. Silver could look cool but plenty of time to worry about that.

I know I've broken a heap of hearts selling the speedlines, but change was needed. I've been bored for a while.

Those who have asked about the stone guards.

The small stone guards I wanted just to protect the immediate paintwork. I wanted the car to look almost as though it wasn't wearing any guards. These little black protectors are universal fitment meaning you have to drill your own holes. But that's good because you can mount them any way you want.

Available here.

If anyone fancies photoshopping the rims to anthracite/silver/teal etc I'd be interested to see how they look.
Silver could work, although still quite smitten on the black.

It's not true that people don't like change

Need some of the same quality pictures that the Speedlines have appeared in mate

If you can't be ar5ed to drill your own they do Subaru specific ones which sit a little lower but aren't hugely different to the full flap. If you want the no flap look but with some protection Frayz's are the way to go

I think the new rims look fantastic & as you say give the car a slightly more aggressive look,also you know what people say-'a change is as good as a rest' & all that,I know how much you must have agonized over changing them as I have a black prodrive bug with 18" turinis myself!

I agree with mervil bronze would look great but have to admit the speedline wheels done it for me and even going. To get them for my own Scooby in time all because I liked the look of them from pics of your car

RCM also sell them.

Great choice of wheel and the smaller flaps are spot on!
I might get those next as they look so much more subtle!

I personally think bronze would look awesome

That's a tough looking bug I like it, not a fan of the exhaust but it goes well with the car and is different the wheels are very very nice, I vote for bronze or a light gun metal gray, whatever colour they'll still be sent, they look nice black too though
