Default New wheels, what do you think??

Just had a new set of silver Rota Formula Mesh fitted to the scoob. I wanted grey but they were out of stock so i went for the silver.

Have a look at "view my scooby". What do you think? I like them a lot but not sure if i like them as much as the PPF7 replicas

Maybe its just the colour i cant get used to, the car does have a more WRC look with them on though.

They are a very nice looking wheel, Loved them when they first came out, but as said they need to be darker, The darker wheels seem to suit your colour better.

Might be worth having them sprayed

Agree with Danny - there is a very nice (but expensive) set of S204 wheels for sale in the parts section that would do a better job. If you don't like those stick with the old wheels.

After looking at them for a while they are starting to grow on me. I agree they do need to be a little darker though but that would be about £50 a corner isnt it?
I havnt seen them on another scoob before either and they do look better in the metal than in a pic, and i like being different. Ill probably change them in another 9 months anyway.

Ian,

beauty is is the eye of the beholder, if you like the new wheels stick with them. I personally prefer darker wheels but the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing
