Re: Beetle custom spray added and a new set of wheels

Post by Bratjie »

Something just didn't look right on my Beetle, I figured out it was a new set of wheels she needed, so now she rolling on a new set of 215x40x17 Conti's and a sparkling set of rim's,

Rims can make a hell of a difference to a ride :twisted: !

Nice! and with four stud you can go to disc's easily. But that looks really good!
From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Very nice!! That blue is my favourite colour and the wheels compliment it perfectly. Now you just need a T4 turbo in the back. :hangloose: :twisted:
