Getting the obvious back tomorrow Merv and then I have to clean and re fit the edging etc... Ready more or less anytime you are really it's in your hands, my plans are to keep the car taxed December and then sorn it in jan/feb and possibly march depending on weather and plans. We can go down to Kev's or you can come to mine when it's off the road weather dependant, we can have a chat at the meal next week pal.

They do the Force and the Force Drift which looks a bit more like the Advans the spoke is less set back from the edge of the rim....

Available in 18x9" 5x114.3 ET27, ET30, ET35 - Not sure if these fitments are suitable for subaru though...

http://www.rotashop.co.uk/force-drif...s_p1040541.htm

Think the Revolutions will look great though and a fair bit cheaper....

I tend to agree with you there Dean... It's nice to think yes they look great but if it's twice the price then budget comes into it as well for sure.

The first part of the puzzle takes shape.....









Very pleased to say the least with the quality of the job, the flap for one looks fantastic, I now need to spend some time on the black trim parts to get all the sticky black sealant removed before I re-assemble the vent for fitting.

And if I end up going for the 8" diameter alloy which suits the 225 tyre then they make the Yokohama Parada Spec-2 in that size which I had on the classic last time.

I have a set of these in Gunmetal Si:-



Look pretty mean on a Scoob



They are 5x114 18x8.5, so ideally will need 235/40/18 tyres
