pod, I agree, but only on period-styled cars... Cars with more modern styling, such as Steve Carter's bug, look great with big alloys. 😀

i dont mind the newer rims on the older period cars, but I reckon they should have more metal rather than the spindley spider-like spokes... some Merc E-Class rims would look good, as would some Jag-styled rims...

I think they look good.
Not what I would do, I like the older style on older cars.
But each to there own taste on their cars

What about wire spoke rims on an older Beetle? This would look very interesting!

why don't you give the jacket a go-could start a new trend-couldn't be any worse than the crap our people are wearing now trying to keep up with the yanks.

I must admit I am not a huge fan of the second one but love the first (although would have ditched the two tone).

Pod and Robo, I gather you are not German/Euro Look fans? 🙂

I guess thats what makes the vw scene so cool, so many different looks and everyone likes different styles. Personally I get bored looking at car after car of 100 point stock restos... and I do like tweed jackets with leather patches!!

(just kidding) :P

Do look good on older bugs but not with a 2 tone paint job. All a matter of taste i suppose
