Default Thinking of a set of these..

18" Momo Speed 10's in Flat Black with Toyos. £875.
Will have to wait about 4 weeks to get them in Black as its a one off order.
Going on a silver classic WRX so i thought Black would look nice.

What does everybody think??

What do you want an opinion on... the price or whether we like them? (or both ? )

I like the look of them.
Are they gonna be jet black or more of an anthracite colour?

Not sure if jet black would suit a silver scoob. Would have to see pics really to get a good idea of what they would look like.

Stick with 17" rims if i were you,also tend to go with a motorsport/rally design for the impreza as its heritage is better known in these fields.

The wheel pictured above does look nice,and in black would look rather cool.......
very similar to wheelmania,s jade...

At the end of the day its all down to personal choice....

Worth finding out how much the rims weigh,as the last thing you wanna do is stick an oversized wheel that weighs more than the originals.

same rims as I've got on my classic. I quite like them, were good value for the money and they stay clean and dust free fairly easy. Edges are quite soft, so if you or anyone who drives the car has a love affair with kerbs, be warned.

Heres the car if anybody wants to see it....its a little different to these photos now as ive colour coded the sides and door handles and removed the wind deflectors.

P.S. If anybody could photoshop me these wheels in Black onto the car it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, here goes...

All IMO....

Price: Seems pretty reasonable.
Looks: Not my cuppa tea, I've seen these on a few of scoobs and I think there are better ones to choose from. Some black wheels on silver scoobs look ace, some not as good as others.

I prefer these in anthracite...
