I keep going back and forth with which wheels I'm gonna use for my air-cooled car (my subi conversion will be running ATS cookies). I have both sets of: replica Deep Six Fuchs and Sun-bug sport steelies (just like 914 sport steelies but with a deeper lip because of the off-set). I have 5-lug converted rear hubs and would probably use adapters on front for a while (if going w/ fuchs replicas). BTW, I'm doing body work on the car(s) and can stretch the narrow-body fenders no problem... I even picked up a good set of used 205/60-15s to mount as the widest I'd go - for body work and mock up at least. I just need to pin down a plan and thought I'd get the collective opinion from world. The engine will be either a 1911 or 2056, haven't decided yet.

here is the funny thing.
no X pattern steelies on any volkswagens in australia. factory closed in 75 or there abouts. and they never happened here. so an X pattern is some kind of weird cult wheel with aus vw nuts. i get guys come up to me and compliment me on the wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i just kept them because i like to stay honest with a wimpo 1.8. i like all steelies, even X patterns. but- not so sure about wide offset, kind of lose the look if rim is offset too much, as do all steelies? if i had a six, and i don't and i won't, i would run porsche steelies. hub caps on or off to suit my mood. which is the only problem with X wheels, no hubcap option/ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
