JusNoGood Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Hi All I have a 01G platinum blob. My wheels could do with a refurb so I'm going to get a colour change. Can you guys with silver scoobs show me some pics with your wheels please to give me some idea what to go for? I have bog standard silver wheels but like the colour of the fronts with a lot of brake dust on them

JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Nice thanks guys... Keep em coming :) Savage, are three black? I'm on my phone at the moment so could be that. When someone says gunmetal I usually think a bluey grey
savage bulldogs Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Unsure of the exact colour tbo I don't even know what type of rotas they are [emoji15][emoji5] Their probably more of a graphite (dark grey metalic) Slightly better pic of the wheels but still doesn't show the colour to well Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 1

Not 100% but think I'm going to go for slightly lighter. Something like this
JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 standard Subaru black chrome I had them powdercoated as graphite to get a more even finish when I refurbed them Interesting you say powder coated. I've not looked into that as a choice. Can I ask why you chose powder coating, how long since ypuge done them and how is it holding up?
savage bulldogs Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I'd have chose lighter wheels for mine (if I'd had a choice) as dark tend to get a bit "lost " in the dark arches imo . I Surpose it depends on how much you want the wheels to stand out and personal preference. At the end of the day if you like em it's the right choice [emoji6] I'm sure you'll get a few more pics of silver scoobs with un stock wheels, cos there's a few on here Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Scooby monkey Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Justnogood, what wheels do you have? Might help with colour choice to find same type, some look better in certain colours than others do.
JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 I have standard silver ones, not a good picture but hopefully you can make them out..
JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Some numpty has attempted to spruce them up but the finish is quite bad on some of them.
Scooby monkey Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I quite liked those ones (used to have them before I got bbs) but didn't like the offset or width. I think they'd look good in anthracite tho, dark enough to look menacing but not enough to get lost with the tyres / arches.
Scooby monkey Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Btw, I have the same tyres. !Removed! brilliant in the wet
JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Btw, I have the same tyres. !Removed! brilliant in the wet [emoji3]Yea mate love em. Bloke before me put cheap Chinese on the back to get it through the mot before selling to me...got a four wheel side in the wet doing a slow speed around a roundabout, scared the !Removed! out of me...the very next day I got four of these and it's almost like buying a new car [emoji3]
JusNoGood Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 I quite liked those ones (used to have them before I got bbs) but didn't like the offset or width. I think they'd look good in anthracite tho, dark enough to look menacing but not enough to get lost with the tyres / arches. Yes I have been looking at anthracite. Not seen it in the fresh...looks like a bronze/black kinda colour on the web pics I've seen. That a fair description?
Scooby monkey Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I've only seen them on a Clio 182 but yeah I'd say like a darkish grey with metallic fleck. Exact same story with mine, came with cheap Chinese crap on all four corners and was responsible for a few trouser accidents! 1
JusNoGood Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Very nice STI there mate. I like the effect on the first picture...thats some mirroring there! problem with these scooby sites is every time I go on them I see another car I want lol. I was looking at a P1 on Autotrader yesterday...wtf.

I spent half a day cleaning her that day she diserved a pic ;) I was tempted to go black alloys but i think im going to stick with gold, just need some decent brake pads that dont make them black after 5 mins.
R0llamite Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 at current i have old wrx 16" alloys that came accoss on the wagon when imported, but im looking at a set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Axe-EX8-Alloy-Wheels-Euro-Concave-Rims-4x100-4x108-4x114-5x100-5x114-15x8-ET30-/170980607647?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item27cf3d069f in black really into the whole wide wheel, flared arches look at the mo'
