What's with the gold rims?

Ya so I'm gonna get reamed for this but why the hell does everyone love the damn gold rims!?!

Is it just because the STI comes with them by default and everyone wants their car to look like that?

I think it's a terrible look...on any color car. Looks ghetto to me. Am I alone? If I am, I'll shut up

I posted this in two forums cause I'm bored and working late tonight. blah

P.S. Hiya Daredevil!

IMHO, It's paying tribute to the rally heritage. I say it only looks right on a subie. Subarus are the only cars that can pull it off.

BTW, you can get the silver wheels.

I think it looks really good, but only certain wheels and only on certain colors.
