Well I think that Gold Wheels are total ****** and are for big girls bl*****s and should carry a Government Health warning ... These wheels will SERIOUSLY affect your street cred!!

According to pslewis, gold wheel attracts men. By that logic itself, you should get them wheels. Unfortunately, on my car, it has the opposite effect and attracts women. Not that I'm complaining of course.

I am really not convinced. The whole pulling blokes things doesn't really interest me cos a) I am married and b) the last bloke to try and chat me up in my car was in a Nova. Perhaps that is a very sad reflection on me or maybe I just need good advice on wheels.

I THINK GOLDS WHEELS LOOK REALLY TARTY! CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!! MAYBE I AM WRONG!!!

I appreciate the advice.

A friend of mine owns a MY98 Scoob in Reddish Blue. He opted for 17" P1 alloys and it has completely transformed the look of the car. The anthracite goes really well with reddish blue, and it has made the car seem a lot more shapely for some reason. Looks more aggressive as well.

Go for P1 wheels defo, no doubt about it.

PS If you have a pic of your car I can photoshop some wheels on for ya

I've got my eyes on some 17" Super T's in silver. I think gold wheels only appeal to a small minority of people.

It also depends on the colour of your Scooby. If I had a silver Scooby I would go for Anthracite wheels - something like the OZ's on a P1.

Just my opinion.

What about Gold on Green? I wouldn't have gone for them myself but I think they look OK!



I am considering having them refurbished - anyone know if it's possible to have them done in anthracite (any photoshop experts out there ?)
If so, how would they look (would they suit a green car?).

I have a reddish-blue scoob and have to agree with PsLewis- Gold is about as appealling as a naked Lisa Riley covered in Marmite!!!!!
Go for Antharite or silver like in those amended pictures.

Aaaaarrrggghhh !!!!!!!!!!
What have you done to my car ? You evil, evil person !
Actually I was originally getting some ex-P1 OZs, but the deal fell through, and I ended up with ST2s which I really like.

I like the silver Radius alloys, but shiny gold wheels on a blue Scoob are my favourite.

ps. Any chance of photochopping my car with caterpillar tracks ? ;-)
