Those are some fine looking rims! Would love to run those on a Karmann Ghia
do you know anything more about them? The website didn't provide much info

Black rims on white paint does look nice, I'm running that on my 14. Very race like. I'm gunna have to agree with everyone else the Boxster rims look ok on the fasty but they look better on the 1302.

Zen, If I am to run 7" wide rims, the offset would have to be at least 40 or more. There's no way I could run an 11mm or 23mm offset rim under stock fenders on a T3.

I am going to have to possibly run 6" wheels in the front & 7" in the back or 7" all the way around with a 40mm or more offset.

I do agree with everyone though that the boxter wheel just doesnt look right.
I will have to see if I can pick up some Fuchs or Phone Dials.

I may even go with something like this...



993 16" x 7" Wheel

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.

I found the OZ rims the other day. Im not sure if I could get them in the right offset though.

They are freakin' sweet...

The 993 wheels look good but the chrome looks a little too bling bling for me, but that is just me.

[zen]

doh. sorry, still thinking bug with those offsets. you could always trim and flare the fenders.

OZ brought out a few new rims this year, but expect $$. i like the 993 rim idea. i agree with dave on the bling factor for colored cars (generality here, i have seem them look great too, just depends on the car), but for black and white they work well. i always wanted to see some dished 2.0l's also. i saw some company that dishes fuch's somewhere. surely they can do other rims as well.

I think the chrome 993 wheels are a little to CAL-LOOK in my opinion.

The same way that fuchs are GL until you fully polish them them they end up on a cal-look car. Just my opinion.

Don't mean to step on anybodys toes if you have chrome wheels, they're just not my cup of tea.

Ive always like Chrome rims especially on Black Cars. Plus if the car has chrome bumpers it works even more so to me.

As far as it looking a little cal look, It dont really matter to me cause the rest of the car will be German Look where it counts (Brakes, Suspension, Engine, Tranny)

[boygenius]

Good point it's your car.

Heres my old GL with polished fuch's.

I can see your point on chrome wheels but i think they are one of the few styles of wheel that you can get away with being fully polished

And mine was built before there were a lot of affordable big alloys on the market, finished it in 96 and sold it in 97

Your picture link doesnt work

Only once did I see a Fasty GLer, and that was in VolksWorld. I didn't care for that one too much.

I'm going to be the oddball here and say I really do like the rims from your 1302 on the Fasty. I'm not going to get into the 1302 v. Fasty threadpiece since I have been researching the Supers for so long, but I will say your picture helps me visualize a GL Fasty and I really like it.

Now having said that, I will reel myself back to the pack somewhat and say I think the Lindsey or the OZ rims would be even better. I look forward to following this project as I enjoyed your '71 SB.

thanks.
I think I would like the Boxters on my Fasty if they were chrome.
I dont really like silver rims with white cars
