Full Version: Here's a new one...
Going on my squareback project, but it's definite 914 content. I think they look cool! 16x6 Fuchs, tires from Coker. Definitely not something for the AX, but still neat!
just when you think you have seen everything...........
That car is going to look sweet!
That is sweet! I think those would look good on a Ghia as well ( pre 70 ). Good idea!
That is a cool look. 
More photos Mark!
I have a friend doing a Suby in a fast back right now.

Nice! That would have looked good on my Notch!
I'll reserve judgement once they're mounted to the completed car. 
its unique mark. cool
Don't forget the woodie kit...or you could slamit and add a rack...or beetleize.... the ideas don't stop here...

The woodie replica doesn't float my boat, but the red and black wagon gorgeous! I'll take that one, thank you.
Nice Mark. What size is that tire?
I like it... very old school
205/60/16 IIRC
Looks cool, too bad those Coker Tires are so expensive, I'd love to get some wide white-wall tires for my MB w/o breaking the bank.
Nice! I like that retro look with chrome wheels.

NO do NOT try WW paimnt it is pure CRAP. It doesn't stick and it turns yellow within a day. Multiple coats doesn't werk either. The best cheapo way to do WW is to GRIND yes grind the blackwall away. Most people don't realize the blackwall is a pretty rhin layer and it had white under it. I havn't tried this yet on a SOLID blak tire, but the typical thin white walls work great. There is a video on you tube of a demonstrating it. The white part of the tire is also the meat so there is no fear of taking off a little black. Heres the video. I have done it and YES it is a f-in mess but it gets you passable wid ewhites pretty cheap
