i would not of put after burners on it with broken LEDs. it looks gash!! wheels i think look different, not so much ruined but dont look right on a scoob, mk2 golf or civic maybe. Every 1 on ere will tell you to spray em black or anthracite. Gold looks nice on silver but once again on here they will call you a gay! lol

go with what you feel mate. its your car and you gotta drive it dont let any 1 else tell you otherwise. but u asked for comments so i gave ya my 2 pence! lol

be prepaired to get rinsed for ya wheels tho!! lol

welcome to the dark side btw!

Welcome

The colour of the wheels do not suit the car at all in my opinion.
The rear light cluster is okay.
Toyo's
I like the number plate

Setup a vote for the wheels with the following options:

Do the wheels suit the car ?

Option 1 NO

No other options available.

go with what you want mate. i love white wheels personally but i dont think it would pull off on a silver car.

BTW... you know silver scoobs are the fastest??

PS.. do you do powder coating?

I dont really like the rear lights, but the car isnt ruined at all. Its a tidy silver classic.

I actually think the wheels look pretty good, get some coilovers and go low and I think it will look good on the red wheels.

Fair play for doing something different.

The wheels make it stand out and suit the car quiet well.

The rear lights, on the other hand, look cack. Get rid!

I like the wheels. Ditch the lights and get it done with cusco red, white and black graphics. But if you do that it needs the go to match the show. Coloured wheels are the way forward.
