Ordering mine today but can't decide which ones.
I'm stuck between Torques and Tarmacs and silver or gunmetal.
I've got a silver classic. Just can't decide which will look better.
Help me guys

New wheels
Ray,
Just wanted to say thanks for organising the GB. Just picked up an RA version 4 at the weekend and started looking for the obligatory gold wheels. Noticed your thread yesterday, picked up the phone to Midland Wheels and will have a set of Tarmac II's here tomorrow!! Rich held the price of £490 delivered - sweet..........
Nice to be back in the Scooby fold ;-)
Thanks again

Thanks to Ray. With so much choice I found it difficult to make up my mind. Went to Midland Wheel last Saturday. Took a while to find it. In the end went for Tarmac II in anthracite on my DBM MY2000 saloon classic. I will post photos if anyone is interested.
1. Ray - Gold Redlines
2. Monkeh - Gunmetal Redlines
3. Will - Gunmetal Tarmac II
4. ljbradbury- Gold Redlines
5. simon57 - gold tarmac II
6. LIDDO - Gold Boost
7. Jowl - Silver Torque
8. Paul- Gold redlines
9. Simon- Gunmetal Tarmac II
My only concern is the locking wheel nuts don't seem very secure - can a locking wheel nut be sourced with a narrow enough diameter to fit these wheels?
Thanks, Simon

not a problem guys.
I didnt use ther locking wheel nuts. Gte you **** down Halfords and buy a set of McGard Locking wheel nust for abround 35-40 pounds. I think its M12 x 1.5 thread you want. ask them.
my problem was the wrench (standard subaru wrench) i used. it scratches the wheels a bit when i did the nuts up

Ray
I fitted the rims tonight. They look wicked well pleased, so once again cheers.
The only problem I had was the fronts, when they were put on they wouldn't come off again. Had to wrench them off..... Th ehub was that tight. Wouldn't have thought it would interfere though ? Any thoughts ? The backs were fine.
