Best alloy wheel match for my black MY05
Im looking to change the alloys, iv seen some on internet... but i think its hard to get a good match on a black scoob. Anthracite seems the best colour with the speedlines turini..
Any suggestions on wheels would be appreciated??
Thanks

You probably already know but you need wheels with 5x114 pcd. Finding wheels for your model is a ball ache sometimes. Believe me.

Standard wheels, compomotive MO's, revolutions all painted anthracite or gloss black would look nice.
Aslong as they ain't gold or white mate i don't think you could do much wrong

Guys, following this thread , interesting, to be honest i have just joined as I trying to find out what would be good for my WRX Wagon 2003, am looking to get rid of some hideous 19" barracuda wheels that came with the car, the original wheels are for winter use. Any ideas about what would be good for summer use?, 17" / 18" and tyre size... wheel design... any help would be appreciated. Many thanks

On new age wagons looks nice like Inovite which i've before or Rota Grid Drift 18" or 17" if you are running OE 4pots.I've 18" and they look just great
To OP i would go with any colour,just not black,don't look right.Personally i would go with anthracite,white or gold Rota Grid Drift

Love the Turini on the Blob (and Bug).
They do it off the shelf in anthracite (not sure about the 114.3mm PCD though)...

At first I painted my original wheels anthracite (well, toyota met grey actually!)
Then changed them for Prodrive GT1's
Though they are about to change colour again, to Gloss black.

Guys many thanks, Rota looks good, mainly because the have type approval in Switzerland, without that Im illegal, which is not clever given how much they like fines over here. Photos to follow. Thanks again.

How are you getting on with these and what's the inside finish like on them as well.
I'm still debating here for mine but ruled out the Grid look.

They were only on the car for about a month and then taken off and my winter wheels fitted. The inside finish is the same as the spokes.

I really like the turinis (have some on my 172) - on a black car i would go for matt black for the mean look!

That's good to hear with the finish as far to many wheels are now left unfinished on the inside.
