We had the wheels done on the Seat recently and went for a gloss gunmetal with a satin lacquer, looks fantastic. If I was doing the wheels on the Impreza I'd do the same colour on that aswell.

I voted for Dark, but the Light Anthracite on mine is darker then the name would suggest. You can always try one of mine.

I sprayed the 'new' SEAT wheels in Vauxhall Mistral Grey, which is as near as damn it the same as Lepsons Light Anthracite and also nigh on the same colour they were before the respray, only now a much better finish.

I can't remember if the dark anthracite ftom lepsons is gloss/lacquered.
Dont go for satin finish as it doesn't clean too well.

I did enquire about a dark smoked chrome but it would have cost an extra £20 + vat each wheel..
