Agreed!
The k1s would remain silver. Just because they're pretty mint. And the guy i got tbe neons and parts from may want them back someday.
Im suprised theres no votes for polished slipstreams. Really suprised.
Why?
On the wheels: there's not a wrong answer here.

the wrong answer is anything except white rotas
hardware is back from the plater. 2.33 lb after shipping. Plan is to keep it all in the boxes until the car is done, and weigh whats left. The two boxes were 60lb combined. Ill subtract the remainder from the total and add the amount into the budget that i used.
thanks to shadeaux, i am convinced that white rota slipstreams IS the correct answer.
Now to figure out how to do a white that stays clean, and re-cleans easily.

Stays clean, impossible. Re-cleans easily, I’ve had some luck with several coats of synthetic wax.
Definitely a white 5 spoke. DEFINITELY
9 feet butyl tape for quarter windows
Wonder if that ceramicoat stuff would be the answer to keepingthem easier to clean?
After the challenge, all the plastic interior panels will need pulled and dyed. They are all various shades of dark agate due to fading and being from different cars. Not completely noticeable. but bad enough. I just don't think we have the budget room for two or three cans of sem.
I had a set of 17” Slips that I had bead blasted and cleared for autocross use on my SVX. Low key and I thought they looked pretty good on the car.
I seem to recall that white Slips were the rage when the 2002 WRX hit the market.

There are new paint / dyes that really are effective and don't rub or scratch off. Check with your auto paint supplier, I used some that were way better than the Krylon stuff.
Whatever you have used on white trash has held up wonderfully

Sem. The good stuff. Just not the challenge budget effective stuff...
This car is gorgeous, please use the K1s and keep it perfect.
omg those white Slipstreams are the perfect period-correct wheel for this.
silver K1's. i think the white rims will have too much pop, and will take eyes away from teh perfect bodywork.
Theres no wrong answer to the wheel question. That's actually a problem. Im a wheel whore. I can justify seven sets of wheels for one car....
Todays goal: swap in correct hardware and button up the brakes. And make the clips that i don't have an example of to hold the b pillar trim on.

Abe Lincoln, the Science Guy?
So on the wheel question, sounds like you need BOTH sets. You just have to decide which will have your autocross tires and which will have the daily-driver tires.
