Well, this a GL site. You shouldn't be surprised when you ask for an opinion you will get a GL-biased one.

Those wheels look heavy to me but their actual weight is not listed from what I could see.

Outside the GL world, Centerlines are quite popular. I didn't like 'em years before I heard of GL. Then again, it is for your car so get what you like.

I know its a GL site but that shouldnt matter, Im not a fan of Cal look or GL really, I just like how some of these bugs look with rims that belong on jap imports Like Oasis's bug looks nice, but I had someone do a couple photochops of a complete bug in my 2 tone colors and the jap import style rims just dont look right and my dad also told me the centerlines would look really stupid on a bug at least he's honest, right?.I may just stay with my current wheels and just narrow the beam up front and put 1.25" wider fenders on rear to cover that 1inch of tire/rim sticking out or just go the 70's retro look and lower the car just enough to where the tires dont rub the fenders lip because I like the look of my wheels with the bug lowered, just wont be able to slam it.Anyone know how hard the baseball bat trick is, to flare the fenders if I was to stay with my curent wheels?

There are a lot of Japanese cars and, therefore, a lot of Japanese rims. Plus, there is no shortage of aftermarket rims for Japanese cars. I would be a bit patient and look around thoroughly since this is a direction you like.

Another thing to consider is some bugs look good to you with Japanese rims but not with your color scheme. Maybe you shouldn't be locked in with your color scheme.

You are fortunate to have photoshop skills. Use them. And be creative.

The two biggest reasons for project abandonment is loss of funds and loss of time. The third biggest reason is a person compromising their way through the project and ending up with something that has nowhere to go without a lot of backtracking. Don't be a potential victim to Number Three.

Back when I had to consider my options with wheels, tires, suspension, brakes and fenders, I was told the baseball bat trick was fairly easy for someone with experience. Translation: Practice on some old fenders if you can, or have someone who has done it before do it for you.

Oasis, just curious but what do you mean by saying I shouldnt be to locked in on my color sceme?Just curious is all.What type of rims would you run on my bug if it was yours an with this 2 tone sceme?
