Test Pics

I just got done doing a wheel swap to see how the Boxter Wheels would look on the new fasty. I just bolted in one lug on each wheel to line it up and lower the car down. The fasty is stock height right now so it looks a little funny in the front...

let me know what you think

To be honest, I really like them on your bug a lot better. To be even more honest, I like your bug as a whole a lot better.
Anyway, do you plan on changing the color of the fastback?

Thanks for the comments about the bug. I like it better with the Boxter wheels also.

As far as changing the color of the fasty, the answer is yes. I will probably go with black. But i wont be painting it for a while, at least not until after the suspension, brakes & engine are done.

It looks quite good..

But to be honest.. I wouldn't put that rims on it.. GO pic some real racingrims.. suchs as OZ, AEZ, etc.. (and lower it ) hahaha

But yeah it's only mine opinion (i don't like porsche rims.. most of them are ugly )

OK. hmmmmm... I think I liked them better on your bug.

They look too thin for the car, I think that the spokes need to be thicker for the car. Maybe some cup style wheels or some phone dials. Maybe a set of turbo twists and fuchs always look good even if they are dated.

P.S. hey Joe I have a good front beam preped for weld in adjusters. I have the adjusters new in the package, let me know if you want them when you lower the front.
