    The rims are a good deal, but I think you could find something thats gonna look better. Too many spokes IMO

    I would go with those as well. Hows the condition? They look good in the picture but are 2 center caps missing?

    they actually look to be missing the two. no real big deal to me.

    they look a bit more beat up than i thought...

    Yeah, I would pass on the condition and the fact the 2 center caps are missing.

    id have to space them out, but thats not a big deal. probably something like a 20-25 bolt on spacer.

    heres how they fit. with a little persuasion, they should mold up nicely. i could only tape it to a certain extent. they do bend more to fit the arch.

    (sorry for the crappy looking pictures. i have no photoshop to make them pretty)

    gets rid of just about all the rust on the drivers (left) side
    [​IMG]

    not quite on the passenger's (right) side
    [​IMG]


    im thinking ill probably switch the rears because i think i had them mixed up. still need a tiny bit of body work to make it look nice. nothing as big as i needed before though :D

    next exterior mod is a rear valance (besides wheels of course)

    i have a few ideas for wheels. basically im custom making them.

    im currently looking for some BBS RM/RS/RF shells. i could care less about the width, but the diameter needs to be 16" or 15" (looking over VWvortex.com forums right now)

    these wheels are a 3 piece design, meaning i can swap out lips to something like these:
    http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/images/4inchpolishedoutershell2.jpgz

    so, in essence, i can turn a BBS 16x6.5 wheel into a 16x8 or 16x9 wheel by adding a 2" or 3" barrel :D

    ooo the possibilities :D
