Thumbs up

Look good, although I reckon they would look better if the graphics were off, think I prefer the gold wheels with the graphics.

Very nice wheels though

Looks quality mate.....

Love the new look. The old gold ones look pretty smart too though.

What size were the gold ones by any chance?

How much do Rotas cost over there?

You'd ditch your Speedlines for Rotas?

Jus curious.

Thanks guys

Intersting comments about the gold n graphics. I do know what you mean. It's just I fancied a change. There was the option of Gold rotas, which I have to admit leaning towards at one point.... The gold Speedlines are 18"'s, as are the Rota's. Look smaller don't they?

I bought the scoop from someone on here. He makes them, but his name escapes my completely at the moment ( might be something to do with the bottle of wine I'm just about to finish ) It's a little bigger than the standard scoop fitted to classic's. I wanted something higher but not as high as the STi 8 scoop. Reckon it's a good compromise?

The Rota's were £380 a set, for just the wheels. Bought as part of a group by as mentioned in my first post..... Yes I'd change the Speedlines for Rota's. Speedlines might be lighter and better etc etc. But I really like the look of the Rota's and had been thinking about changing the wheels for a while anyway.

Speedines are now owned by terryb from scoobynet

New ones are nice mate but nowhere near as nice as the old ones. Car looks awesome on the gold rims.
The new ones make it look like somethings missing.

Sorry for the neg feedback

Nope. Terzo Number 290

Mines never been on a track and probably won't be going on one either

They cost enough to keep on the road without adding more expense of trackdays

Thanks for all the comments, though I would rather not hear "the gold ones look better" thanks

For gods sake, don't get me thinking I should have gone for gold again

As much as I hate stickers,the gold Speedlines suited it better

Lose the stickers and with the Rotas you'll have a much more classier looking car,ala silver scooby sports
