Question

Have decided to go for Compomotive MO's. 6 Spoke version.
So they will be 8x18's.

Now, only thing is, i'm torn between silver or white.

Car is a 98 Wagon, Reddish Blue.

If anyone has got pics of white wheels on a scoob,it may help me.

What do you think ??

edited to say "pics of white wheels on a scoob"

White will look better and stand out from the crowd more, but you'll have the cleaning problem I always had with my Speedline GT1's - every other day they'd be dirty if I cleaned them that often.

For the white ones:

I'm really swinging towards the white, but as you say, it's gonna be the cleaning that's the downside.

Should make the car stand out though

Had a white 'Mk 6 RS 2000, always thought the white wheels, Compamotive multi spoke Rally wheels would look good on that. Your Reddish blue on the other hand....with white.....not so sure, in fact I am sure, NO stop now. Your colour is crying out for either silver, or a good quality gold wheel, by that I mean not the chocolate penny decoration std wheels, but something from Speedline, maybe look at Anthracite as well. Good luck with your choice !!

Definately dont want to go down the gold route, just not my taste.

After talking about it lastnight with a few people, i've bee nconvinced that white aint really the colour to go for, so for this moment...i prefer silver.

You can guess it'll all change in another hour thoough.
