yeah i did have those 19 inch rials. the only reason i bought those wheels was because of the price that i got. they would have never worked or felt how i wanted.

Yes, you are going to go to hell for not liking the BBS wheels.

Though I have to admit, they don't look as good on his car as they do on some others I've seen. I think the main reasons are that they are the silver ones and not the gold centers, and the porsche crest center caps really make them look dated (makes them look like the crappy early 80s 15" bbs's). They also aren't really working with the front spoiler, which does not please me as I have wanted to get a front lip for the longest time but am now afraid the car won't look right.



But anyway, awesome stuff VW. I wish my paint was that clean...

Nice work. I like BBS wheels, hate to clean them. I did think your car looked really good with the twists though.

The car looks great but I like the twists better. Then again, it looks like mine which I think looks good as well.
