Title: Porka wheels
Post by: dan_apps on 13 March 2009, 20:32
right,
opinions really, i think that these wheels are schweeeeet, but i am currently having a small debate with a fellow mk2'er who thinks they are beyond gash and has threatened to knife my tyres if i buy them, what do you guys think? i dont think black gloss is the best colour for them but sumthin custom, maybe 2 colours on my pimp ride would look good!

I've sold these on now as they were a set I bought to tide me over while I was refurbing my other rims.....

Fitted nice as they were 16" same as my D90's but was never sure about them.

I reckon they would look good in black.

Adaptors For The FAIL (much like cheap coilovers).

Porsche parts on VWs make you look like you aimed for a Porsche and missed badly.

whats wrong with coilovers?

No, Porsche parts on VW's look like you've put Porsche parts on a VW.

I like 'em  :cool: ..... but then I do have two sets so probably a bit biased  :rolleyes: though reckon the et23 ones look better and agree with the comment on stretched rubber, small bumper and slammed  :grin:

I like them but not on a big bumper 3door.
Hard slammed black 5 door, small bumpers, black wheels = pimpin :cool:
Porsche and VW share early DNA so it's cool that you can interchange parts. Different if you fit, say, Honda wheels...

There again with no bad taste there would be no good taste, and no one to laugh at :grin:
