These are the ones i'm choosing...but what colour ?

To match a Reddish blue wagon.

Gunmetal.



Bronze.

Really need help...as i cant decide at all.

Cheers folks.

Johnny! Gold is a no-no in my book these days and silver is too safe a bet. So that leaves gunmetal or bronze for me. I'd be inclined to go with gunmetal although if you mail me a piccie of your car i'll shop the bronze ones on?

For me the bronze is the coolest shade, i just wouldn't be sure about the contrast with reddish-blue....

Who maketh them and what model are they?

Hey Carl.

They are Ultralite A-Tech wheels.
I'm getting them from TSL, cos the wheels i have are corroded, and Paul cant guarantee the quality of the next set, so he's letting me choose another set that i like.

I'll mail you a pic.

It's hard without seeing them on the actual car. I'll reserve judgement till the photoshop pics arrive

leave the boy to listen to me....bronze. it will look nearly as good as mine when my wheelsare painted

seriously though. on the reddish blue it will highlight the blueness and add's an american/japanese feel to the scoob, which is what i reckon you want

Photoshops ahoy! I used the gold wheel as the base for all the shades as the bronze pic is the wrong angle and you can't even make out the wheels on the Evo!

In order of my own reverse preferance.












Remember dudes the anthracite/silver and bronze shades are photoshopped so only a guide!

interesting could be an offer bud. let me get back to you and see when i can do it. you work at weekends or what m8? might be worth considering doing the spoilers first though? gets a tad of a big job to do the whole lot in the oney, considering we're in a small unit for a wee while

Silver, Silver, SILVER !!!!!

The darker colours never (imo) give you the satisfaction of looking really clean after a fews hours cleaning
