Mine came with the speedline 16" 5 spokes in gold. I think it looks ok. Yes I do want to change them but for Bronze Work XT7 wheels.

I don't think they look "chav" at all. They are what the car came with standard!!

Anytime people ask what I drive, I say a blue Scooby, the next question is always - does it have gold wheels???????????????????

I'm not a big fan of the gold wheels on any car, so I have black wheels with a stainless steel lip, but as said before, each to their own!!

as long as Subaru WRC use gold alloys so will I. if you dnot like the looks of the WRC car why would you buy a Scooby.

gold wheels only really work on blue cars tho

I used to hate the gold wheel look but have gold 17's on my wrx. I'm thinking about 18's and reckon they will be gold again. I don't think these cars are really about "tastefulness" so might as well have gay gold.

Personally, gold wheels look best on a black Scoob IMHO.

But then again I do like to be diferent from the norm.

In the year of our Lord 2000 I was telling everyone on here that they were gay icons and chav material ........ I was hounded by the gay boys.

But, it seems that I was correct all the time
