@DarrenDriven: The car pictured in the OP is wearing the 18" BRZ STI wheels. I am posting a correct picture (my car with 17x7.5 +48 18.4 lbs BRZ STI wheels in black) more consistent with this thread's title:

OEM/Sti GunMetal 17s

Got some of the Sti 17s in Gunmetal, which I haven't seen in the guide yet. Here they are on my first out of town drive, on the Mountain Loop Highway, WA.

@switchlanez has these in black. And also the 18" too, I think.

Hm that gunmetal looks more dull than I thought.

yes, I have seen them in other sizes/colors, just not 17/Gunmetal. They are a little dull, they don't 'shout', which is what I wanted. I wanted a dark color, but think black looks weird - as it is darker than the tire.

Alright someone had the courage to get the gunmetals! I've been wondering how they look. The HDR effect might be misleading. I would've picked gunmetal over silver just because silver is common. But because I have black aero pieces I had to go black to complement.

Mine are also 17" and the 18.4 lbs. figure is approximate based on subtracting the weight of the package (without the wheel) from the total package weight listed on my shipping invoice. I still want to get the weight of the wheel alone if no one else does it first. Mine don't turn out great in most pics I take (black hides the spoke detail) but with the right lighting and a good photographer, they can look better than in person. :p

And here's a rare pic of silver 17s on white which works well. I prefer the squatter look of 17" spokes over the elongated 18" spokes (like on the STI concept model).

These are very close to Enkei RS05's but not exactly the same. I am considering them to. Very nice!!
