I'm planning some changes to my new XT as soon as I get my tax return! The first thing is going to be an alarm with remote start since I now have to do it the cold way in the morning.
Then as soon as it warms up, I'm going to get new wheels. I'll keep the stock wheels for the winter, but the rest of the year I want something non-stock and totally better looking. I want to keep it around $120 or so per wheel, and I do like Konig as a brand. So, I want something that everyone else doesn't have and that looks good. Which one of these 3?
First, I was thinking something that's black, or mostly black would be kind of "bad-donkey" since my XT is black, but then I run the risk of having it look like steelies that I never took off from the winter since back is kind of hard to see in certain light. Definitely not flat black though. Someone here just posted pics of a black '09 (I think it was) with an '07 or '08 blue Forester. They were great pics, but then I saw some of the comments that people weren't all down with the all black thing and the wheels were hard to see. So here's choice number 1, Konig Illusion. I like the grove in the spokes that adds some interest.

Here's number 2, Konig Zer0-in. I like these because they have the machined look(sort of shiny), some flat black, but not to much. I also thought the red stripe was cool since I have some red stickers like my SUBARUFORESTER.ORG sticker for the back window. I didn't want to much red or just all black wheels with a red stripe since I don't want to look like the A-TEAM!

Here's number 3, Konig Fullcount. I think these are cool since they have shiny machined spokes and that would look better with the chrome door handles I was thinking. Plus, they have the black spokes and that's pretty cool.
