Have an my98 reddish blue totally standard looking. Have been toying with the idea of getting a P1 but can't justify the 10k i'd need to borrow to upgrade to one.

So instead thought i'd spend a little bit of money (in comparison to 10k) on my scoob to make it look nice. All I have done to it so far is the full scoobysport exhaust and forge dumpvalve so it sounds nice but isn't much to look at

I want to do the wheels and change the rear spoiler and colour code the black bits such as side skirts and mirrors etc.

Please can I have some recommendations/pics for wheels of what you think looks good, preferably 17" and what they are, how much they cost with tyres and where to get them from etc

I'm useless at trying to find a set of wheels I like on my own and can't decide unless I have seen them on a scoob already so pics needed please

Gold wheels are also a possibility as I like them with blue

Cheers in advance for any help people

How about a set of STi 7/8 wheels, you can find them 2nd hand in the for sale section but you do need to change the tyres to 215/40/17.

I fitted 17" Team Dynamics 100+ Monzas to mine, cost just under £700 for the set incl Uniroyal Rainsport tyres (great in the wet!!) from Wheelbase - www.wheel-base.co.uk

Cheers guys, very helpful. Got to say I prefer the top ones as I have never been good at cleaning wheels and the more spokes they have the more time it takes looking after them

Didn't realise they fitted the classic shape, they look well nice. Reckon on reddish blue they would be pretty smart.

How much do they normally go for? I'm very interested in getting some

Here's another one to consider. This is my old Scoob on 17" Raceline RL7s. Nice wheels and a little unusual.

Wanted RL7s myself but the don't make them any more.

Detroit F-1s are a fav. of mine atm but again difficult to get.

MOs would be sooooooo sweet in 19'

I run Radius R3s in 18' but they weigh a ton and are a pia to clean.

Decisions decisions!!
