six appeal 53 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Loving the Steelies, they chrome on the edge? Could do with some spacers and get them stuck out a bit more though, would look damn tough then, especially the rears!Simon. Link to post Share on other sites

Could do with some spacers and get them stuck out a bit more though, would look damn tough then, especially the rears!Simon.[/quote']not chrome - just sanded back to silver then laquered......they are only winter rims borrowed from a mate ...not too sure on spacers - this way the mud doesn't get splatted down the sides and no rubbing!!!!!thanks all Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 looking real smart richie - transforms the car :-) Are they 16's? Think spacers on the back would really look good though fella ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 thanks peeps...what's wrong with my parking???? made the car at the right angle to take pics, and no-one can dent my doors!!!!! as matt said - all the old dears down here nobody can park anyway!!!to be honest i would think about about spacers but the steelies are not mine - i have only borrowed them for a couple of weeks as a temporary measure.....new alloys comin soooooooon (hopefully) Link to post Share on other sites
B6MFD 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 what are they from? i said i wasnt kean but each time i look i sort of get drawn in...lol Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i didn't like them at first, it was to get an idea of what black centred wheels would look like......now they've been on there a while i'm starting to really like them actually ... they are 16's from a new beetle .....i do have the trims aswell!!!!! but no they are not going on..yet..

B6MFD 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 can you give me info on how he got them to look so good? what grades of sandpaper he used etc.....and how wide are they? waht offset? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 they are 6 1/2 x 16 beetle steelies, running et42 all round ...used normal sandpaper from 120 down to 1200 grit to sand the black paint off the outer rim ( they come totally painted matt black)then laquered the whole wheel ... job done..need to take a tiny bit off the caliper carrier to clear the inner edge of the wheel but other than that - straight on...tyres are 195/40 16!!!! - making them tiny overall diameter and therefore the car is silly low...
