Wheel choice ????

Hi guys....

I please need some input with regards to wheel choice for when my beetle is back from the panel beaters this weekend. My dilemma (sic) at the moment is that I am in 3 minds as to wheels I should fit for Lady's 'coming out' lol!!

Options:

1) I have the stock wheels that I had repainted in the same Ivory as my bug, with the hub caps, beauty rings, and white walls
2) My EMPI Sprint Stars powdercoated Silver (foreground) and Blacked out (background)
3) My Fuchs in either detailed form (Polished and black detailing) or Fully polished? Which do you guys suggest?

I know I am lucky to have the choice, but really confused with which one to use?? :(

Please offer suggestions? Played on Bug Selecta this morning and came up with the below options...

Ha ha ha! BAB! :lol:

The adaptors I have for them are from 130 pcd to 205 wide 5.... do you think I can redrill the same adaptors to fit my bay window as well?

Also, are you able to make me some centre caps for my Fuchs please?

I just do a screenshot and paste it in paint. Then you can save it as a JPG from there :wink:

1) Fuchs if no fender skirt.
2) Original wheels if using fender skirt. With white wall tyres and full moon hubcaps.
3) Sprintstars on bus.

IMHO
