Yes, it's purple.

No idea what the wheels are, but I don't think they are mini wheels. There's a centre spacer on the hubs to align them.

I really dig the purple on purple. And the factory color scoop. Mine is only black because mine flew off and I had to buy a new one. Those wheels are most likely not Mini wheels, especially if they require a hubcentric spacer.

It would be even more spooky if the WRX's were the same year, my buddy's in the picture is an 03. I like the JDM rear aprons on the car in your pic, they look great!

Yea, they look like R87 MINI wheels , but if they have hubcentris rings to fit , then of course they are not. 36116777971
