paul555sti Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 What type / colour is your car? Any pictures as this might help.
jef Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) i in next month or so will have revolution milleniums in gold (ill double check in a minute thats the right name) "17" and cleared ap 6pot calipers and 335mm discs less than 6 months old on falken tyres - same age, not a lot of milage. these wheels (thats not the car, just a picture of same wheels) think you would be interested?

andy85 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Was thinking of goin for black and silver...... I like these....
Spaceman Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Buddy the revolutions in gold would look sweet on the black though im sure the other wheels will look good too

BalliSTIc Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 SIDC jargon for sending a PM, Andy!!! Keep up! 2 thoughts for you in buying alloys (and the Revos are a GOOD choice IMHO) - try and keep them light as heavy wheels rob power... big consideration on you non-turbo motor. Other thing is, go wide enough to allow for any brake mod you MIGHT wanna consider. Pre-2005 STI alloys (or the revos) are a gd choice as they'll clear big brakes but still fit your 5x100 stud pattern.
andy85 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Why thank you Glen.... And thanks for slippin in the non turbo... ha ha. The hatch actually working now????
ROBBIE-T2000 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 the speedline st2 i think they are look the same as the revos to widen your search i got a set today and they are sweet might change the colour though
andy85 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 the speedline st2 i think they are look the same as the revos to widen your search i got a set today and they are sweet might change the colour though How much were they if you dont mind me asking?
andy85 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Thats alright.... Where did u pick up that bargain?
ROBBIE-T2000 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 gumtree seen a few sets on ebay recently about the 250 mark
neill54 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Always liked the revolutions but never found a set I could afford got these speedlines a while ago when I knackered my 18"s not a big fan of gold on a silver car so went for a matt black finish look a lot better I think Before After Neil
jef Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 the speedline st2 i think they are look the same as the revos to widen your search i got a set today and they are sweet might change the colour though not a great pic, but i think those style of wheel in white, really suit the classic scoobies and hopefully what ill end up with

garius872 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Hey guys! I'm also in the new wheel market and i was considering 18"s but everyone seems to be talking 17"s, would 18"s cause problems then i also plan to lower so would appreciate any advice being new to the scooby!!??? Cheers Mark!
ROBBIE-T2000 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 i didnt like the handling and rubbing of the 18s , also slowed the car down back to 17s much much better fun
jef Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 mine are still the best pick of the bunch! fact! (maybe) lol

In general, you'll have shorter tyre sidewalls with bigger rims, so handling should be better, possibly at the expense of a little ride comfort. No reason 18s should scrub any more than 17s with correct tyre choice, lowered or otherwise. You also need to consider offset, ie where the centre of the wheel is on its rolling axis relative to the hub bolt face. Lower offsets stick out more, while higher offsets are less likely to clear big brakes (in general) Bear in mind some larger rims weigh a lot more. That's more weight for the engine to spin, blunting performance. 19" OZ Ultraleggeras (lit: "Ultra-Light") on the other hand...
