Have a look at the aggressive wheel thread on NASIOC these all have a sort of "euro look" to them

Is the Euro look not meant for "Euro" cars? VW's, Vauxhall Corsas etc?.... Not sure if the Scoob has the right lines to carry it off... Too aggressive IMO.

I think it looks great! Look at the bug on here last week from the states, it had whitewalls and steelies, look superb!

Go for it, maybe noit chrome wheels, smoked would be better.

Each to there own, if you conform to the norm of impreza ownership then the everyone looks the same!

I havent!! lol I like to be different and I think this will be different if the monkey wants to do it, but as long as its done right.

Try a it and if you don't like it, then go back with what you had.

wouldn't be able to tell until it's done i bet!!

would be quite a lot of work, eg smoothing of wing markers an side repeaters,losing spoiler, oe headlamps and rears, door handles, prodrive bumper to lower the front, might have to consider air suspension/coilovers
see what 3 piece wheels are available rather than chrome maybe........
have a look on nasioc as quite a few over there have a touch of euro bout them

the only problem you will find is fitting small wheels on because of the size of the brakes if its a turbo.my son has a euro golf and he had major problems fitting his deep dish wheels due to this problem
