Paint the centre caps gold and the wheels would look better IMO

I,ve never been a lover of ginger alloys,most people can,t make up there mind whether they suit the car or not.Only problem is finding a replacement that only weighs 5kg per wheel,these BBS lm,s retail at about £500 a corner,dont want to wack a heavier wheel on and change the charactor of the car.

Maybe try and get wheel painted anthracite,and lose the red wheel centres will be best move..

Can anyone photoshop them?

Thanks for comments guys.

Mate, can I respectfully suggest you forget the tints ?

I really think it looks like a job only half-done when just the backs are done, although I`m aware that it`s not worth doing the fronts anymore in case you get stopped by VOSA.

Apart from that, it`s one very nice Scoob you`ve got there.

Keep the wheels bud.

It's all about being different and they are. Doubt you'll ever find nother scoob with those on it. More likely to find P1 alloys or summit on it.....and DON'T paint em!

Are you lot fu*king mad paint a set of BBS LM's

And why would he want to fit a set of cheap ROTA's just so it conforms with the SN look?

IMHO the finest wheels ever made, don't paint them just leave them as they are.

There the sort of tints i,m feeling would suit car....still dont know about the anthracite.If gold alloys suit any colour best,i think it is sonic blue.....

Think i,,ll get some spare centres and spray them gold,to see what they look like.If i can find out the colour code.
