Keep the wheels! I have some just like them, but they aren't UK only, just not USDM.

 

Nice looking car and obviously very well kept! Just my opinion of course, but I think the wheels are ugly. My son has an 06wrx in rally blu with black painted wheels; I think that looks best with that color. My silver 08sti has antracite SSR typeC wheels, so maybe I'm just inclined toward dark colored wheels. My car came with the "matte" chrome 5spoke wheels. They looked like s*** on a silver car! I'm saving them to mount drag racing tires on when my engine build is completed. I once had a supercharged 96 Jetta in a similar blue with white painted wheels. They looked good, but were a nightmare to keep clean.

 

i thought 03 had bug eye or is that just u.s. subarus

 

USDM always came a year later up until the 08's
