Here's a shot of our Notchback, currently it has a set of 4-bolt mahle's, and I have a set of 4 bolt sprintstars but neither wheel does anything for me. What do you think would look good on it??

17\" turbo twist, they would look SAWEEET!

Matt · « **Reply #2 on:** November 02, 2003, 05:22:13 PM »

they would look killer but from what I understand there a couple cars being fitted with those for next year. I want something different.

I like the Mahles, maybe a different colour?

Try pink and polish the ribs.

:wacko:

I like the 2 liter wheels. Or, you could switch to the 5-205 bolt pattern and fit a set of 356 rims w/o hubcaps and just have them powdercoated silver or gunmetal gray or something.

aloha,
Joel

detail the mahles, black w/ polished ribs or grey w/ black ribs.

or ercos.

Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2003, 02:31:20 PM »

I have found some pics of detailed mahle's, they look good black with polished ribs. But now you got me thinkin about grey with black ribs.....I'm goin out to the garage....i'll bring pics back!

Matt, i think you may have overlooked these? I know you said you wanted these when you saw them a few weeks ago

Matt · « **Reply #11 on:** November 03, 2003, 04:39:16 PM »

Yeah I do but I'd feel bad gold plating that roof rack, and they just wont look right unless the car has gold accents.
here is one wheel that i have

compared to grey and black ribs

compared to black with polished ribs

I was gonna try Tom's idea, but I gave James the rest of the Pink spray bomb I had...something about painting his toolbox or something....

I'm also kinda wishing I didnt trade the rotors and rear hubs that were studded for the porsche pattern.....Tom do you still have those? 17\" twists sound kickass!

Matt

James Buchan · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2003, 05:16:30 PM »

I used the pink spray bombs to finish your cooling tin, that's what you said you wanted right?

Tom H. · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:19:21 PM »

Camron's Pedrinis look good in powder coat \"cast aluminum\" with the polished details.

James Buchan · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:34:35 PM »

Hey Matt, had an idea (no there wasn't any smoke coming from my ears) Why not look into POR15 coatings for finishing ideas for your rims. I have a catalog at home, they have transparent color coatings, clears etc - might be different.

Hey Matt, it just so happens that I may have some nice 2ltre alloys for sale. If those dont do it for you how about some 17\" BRMs? Could be kinda sweet. RSR

James Buchan · « **Reply #18 on:** November 04, 2003, 05:42:16 PM »

How about a stock newer Vw rim?

Matt

James Buchan · « **Reply #21 on:** November 04, 2003, 08:35:03 PM »

Matt · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2003, 07:49:11 PM »

Now that all the pic problems are solved what does everyone think of the 4 bolt brm's? Found this pic...ummm...somewhere....

James Buchan · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2003, 07:58:22 PM »

Alot of people run BRM's though,you should try and run something Unique

Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** November 05, 2003, 08:07:53 PM »

ya but look closely....they have only 4 spokes. I haven't seen any of those up here.

What does RSR stand for?? and James what does JBR stand for on the STF??

James Buchan · « **Reply #26 on:** November 05, 2003, 09:20:21 PM »

HEHEH my little secret

silas · « **Reply #27 on:** November 05, 2003, 11:35:26 PM »

are you gonna repaint the car a different colour or leave it the way it is?

if colour stays, my vote is black mahles w/ polished ribs.

Hey Matt, the 4 bolt brm's look good. RSR = Red Snapper Racing. I hear James car is done already, now he shouldnt have any excuses. I hear he wants to debut it at the 2010 olympics.

James Buchan · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2003, 09:59:28 AM »

Debut for the olympics? I didn't know there would be any Ghia's there to kick butt on......
