Mocked up a set of rims... Should I swap or shouldnt I? I like them both...
thoughts?


Old


New

I like the new rims, but the old ones have more street cred. Difficult decision chum.

Old ones they are so much easier to clean unless you like washing rims of course.
But the new ones are nice I must say,tough choice to make there Tony.

The "old" ones looks much nicer to me. It's more rounded shape better fits the rounded shape of a beetle. If you have some spare money to throw around, maybe get a cht/egt gauge like the TC2 from MGL avionics in Somerset West. Use that in your panelvan.

Nice hangar. Was that your latest building project?

Those are the rims for my 1302 project when I finally get around to it. So the choice is whether to fit them short term or not.
The hanger/garage is part of the ongoing build here, house is priority, so garage isnt complete yet. More to follow later in the year...

BBS style all day. Yes, they're a PITA to clean but they look the bomb.

workshop is coming on nicely there Tony !!!

That is one sexy garage!
Second set > 1st set.
I would like to see that beetle running steelies...

Neither...........

Your Beetle will look best on Deep Steelies.......

Love the new Man cave, now you need to fill it up

Are the old ones for sale if you choose the new ones . I love the old ones

man cave needs plenty work, which is why I have not mentioned it yet...
Old rims are not for sale, if I swap out now, they will go back eventually.

where did you get them they are really cool ?

Both rims are very nice, but I like the look of the old ones more on your beetle.

+1 for the new ones...like em! How wide are they? Have you done a weight comparison between old and new?
