brocks 05 December 2007, 14:04 Jamie, try the thread in members gallery, there are a load of different wheels pictured there on a variety of cars and colours................Personally I was gonna get a set of 17īs, the Inovit STVIīs in white, but this is looking like it will have to be 18īs now as well......to fit over the Bremboīs, good luck with the search mate
j16jrf 05 December 2007, 14:14 yeah see i looked at the inovits and the prodrive copies etc, but they are the done thing, i like to do things a bit differently
burt2000 05 December 2007, 14:26 if it was me i would go for the turinis, or a set of speedline ST2's in 17's....18's are a bit too big imo, if you look in my scooby(same colour as yours man) ull see the newage sti rims on mine painted silver, nice and fresh looking plus still oem look
petedotuk 05 December 2007, 19:02 If u dont have brembos u will have a great choice.
Like Brocks said there is a couple of threads on this with lots of pics.
P.s dont go 4 replicas u will regret when the paint starts flakin and big rust spots appear!
OLLIeRB5 05 December 2007, 19:06 turinis are the wheels of choice for me, the inovits are the new tsw stealth or dare v2 sadly... victim of their own success :(
c0lin 05 December 2007, 19:31 gra's r nice i think
robertgraham 05 December 2007, 20:38 I have turini`s on my car, in 18`s, have to admit though classics drive much better on 17`s!
robertgraham 05 December 2007, 20:39 i`m with burt, st2`s, had a set of these before and was well impressed :)
mr.sheen 06 December 2007, 00:10 :norty: i can do ya a set of rota torques 4 the right money, all u have to do is bolt em on
j16jrf 06 December 2007, 00:55 discussing it with mr sheen lol, he isnt playing ball though bit of a hard ass
dohc_turbo 06 December 2007, 01:10 have a set of bronze innovite st v1s 18in,
look well under it
davey21wagon 06 December 2007, 07:43 st 2 s are really nice i was hunting for a set but they are like hen teeth to find a good set.
OLLIeRB5 06 December 2007, 12:04 i just realised my post sounded really rude to those with inovite rims...
which i didnt mean too, I love the redlines, but the turinis are my wheel of choice.
its increasingly difficult to find a different set of wheels that will suit the car, hence so many scoobs with the tried and tested methods.
@robert... are your turinis silver or gunmetal?
brocks 06 December 2007, 13:20 Inovite basher LOL........thing I liked bout em, tho there common, not everyone has put white alloys onto a blue scoob as yet.......was hoping to get away with 17īs, but dont think they will make it over the brakes dammit ......shame as I have a full set of 17" bridgestone Potenzas sitting doing nothing in my garage with only 600 miles on em too.........
OLLIeRB5 06 December 2007, 13:33 turbogirls sister had a blue blob eye (i think it was) with dark tints and 18" white PPF7 rims (i may have the name wrong) the ones redlines are a copy of.. and by jesus **** it was gorgeous.
robertgraham 06 December 2007, 14:18 @robert... are your turinis silver or gunmetal?
Gold :D
OLLIeRB5 06 December 2007, 14:26 i may still have to kill you and paint them :P
lovely wheel i`d never paid much attention to until i saw some on a few scoobs
davey21wagon 08 December 2007, 04:39 only thing that annoyed me about the Inovite set i had on my last car was the wheel nuts rounded very quickly..... and the bit to tighten them to rounded in no time as well.
the ones with a polished lip as well they had a little lacquer on the lip which started to come off.:nono:
bit annoying
j16jrf 08 December 2007, 13:35 ok bought mr sheens lol.
