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 17´s, the Inovit STVI´s in white, but this is looking like it will have to be 18´s now as well......to fit over the Brembo´s, good luck with the search mate

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

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!

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?

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 17´s, 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.........

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.

bit annoying
