Question

Hi All

Would be greatful if any one has any info regarding most suitable colour for 17" wheels to compliment a Mica Red scooby.

I have been looking at Khans, Mas Italy managers, Bk racing 238 etc, the lovely oz I think would be a nightmare to keep clean but would appreicate any comments regarding styles bearing in mind the correct off set suitable for the scooby
I realise that some of the wheels mentioned above only come in silver but if any of you lad's or ladies out there have any pictures of a mica red car with 17" wheels I would be most greatful

Cheers
ED

Eddie,

Town and County (Subaru dealers in Aberdeen), have a red mica Prodrive demonstrator fitted with Anthracite Prodrive 7 spoke alloys. I think this colour really suits the car (as does the style), and they are easy to keep clean (fewer spokes than most!). The offset is correct for the Impreza, and they will clear all popular big brake kits should you decide you wish to upgrade your brakes at a later date.

John,

Thanks for the advice. I will have to speak to Town and County to arrange a viewing of the car, as with the scooby rear box once you have seen (and heard) you just have to get one

Regards
Ed

Nice site and wheels. However I am still searching for some pics of a Mica red scooby with 17" wheels. I think the gold prodrive st2's look outstanding on silver mica blue, green, white and black.

Mean while I will just have to have another very late night searching the archives

Regards
Ed
