[Thejimreaper]

What do you reckon to these for my STI? Ignore the stickers. . . . . if you can!

[NWVT]

[jdizz]

Yep yep! 2nd'd

[DAVEVO9]

They look nice..

Are they BBS CH?

[Thejimreaper]

No they are Rota Formula Mesh. I found the photos on NASIOC (north american subaru impreza owners club) site. There are places in the uk that sell Rota wheels but i havent fouund any that sell these. May need to do some digging around to find them! If not i may just copy Ant and get the Rota Torques instead -

Those Rota Torques are the dogs danglies.. If they did them in a steel grey I would have some..

I think those are a 18x9.5? I would need my arches rolling I think?

[Thejimreaper]

I have been emailing Ant about them and he said they were 18 x 9.5. I think they would be a bit to wide for my car. Ii think if i get some new wheels they will be 18 x 8.5 at the most. The Formulas are very similar to the BBS CH actually.

Like 'em both Jim.

The ones on the Evo are just immense

[Wobba]

They suit the car. That pic there the Scooby is quite low which makes anything look good. What is your suspension setup?

Be careful of Rota wheels Jim they do not have a terribly good reputation when driven hard they have been known to fail.

Rota do do some nice wheels though...

[haggy]

Nice Jim!!

I know just the person to paint them!







Nothing better than anthracite/black wheels!

[Thejimreaper]

Wobba your right about the suspension set up. I have got something in mind for that aswell.

Cheers for the input guys. Nick i may give you a buzz if i have no luck.

[Neil.D]

Just buy the EVO...

Great! Do tell!

My friend has just put Tien coilovers on his Scooby, it's pretty harsh he says, but I am sure you can adjust to accommodate driving preference.

I had a Series McRae (no. 76) back in '95 and fitted Prodrives suspension and tuning kitto my car. Standard Scoobs back then were a bit wallowy, but the kit transformed it, only dropped it about 10mm iirc though.

Be good to see what route you decide to take!

Oh yes massive fan of the GT3's and Grids, jut on my way round the Honda forums I've heard some nasty stories about Rotas Which really disappointed me
