yes
 
It helps a lot for highway driving

Allthough if you are running extremely low you beat it up pretty bad

it is pretty tough for scrapes but it doesn't take sharp impacts to well

I love the last shot there, I've always been a fan of white on blue. Got any specs on the wheels?

Phat73VW November 20th 2013 15:44

Yeah I just bought those on Monday cause I have always wanted to have a white wheel with the Jazz Blue. I really like the fact that they are wider and super light. they are 15x8 with et20. I have 195/50/15's on right now but I am changing the fronts to a 165/45/15 so I can bring the front down a bit.

They look superb! Who is the manufacturer? 4x100?

Sweet looking ride.

15" looks awesome! \They look kinda like compmotive wheels. Can you get 165/45r15 locally? I thought those were euro only sizes.... Smart car tires are another options.:D

I agree all the way, and yes, they look the dogs, still the best way to lower any car, especially a Beetle, is smaller wheels and tyres. funds permitting after the motor is finished for my upgraded build, it will be going down onto 13" wheels and kevlar hot rod tyres for circuit racing, weight saving and pan lowering at the same time...

Giveth more pics!!! Awesome stance! Thought about putting a similar set of wheels on my MKV GTI.

Yeah the tires are available locally they're not even expensive either like $60. Is your bug the one running the Subaru motor? If so that car id super sweet man I really dig it!!!

Welcome back!
I like your older wheels - the cool grey 6-spokers from 2008... You may have listed them earlier in your thread, but what size/offset were they? They look to be a terrific fit at the front...

They were Velox VX6r's 17x7 et+40 they were also really light. I really wish I hadn't sold them.
