Going all Jason Look, well.... german look. .... Wheels!!!

colonel mustard · 2009-03-30T07:30:06+00:00

I'm going for a Cal Look on my 73' - well at least i think its Cal Look.. And I'm thinking about what wheels will look good and Fit. I hate wheels that stick out past the fender....!!! Also need to know if any of these dont go with front standard disks..... (I think I see Cal Look like this.....ish) Along the lines of... decklid standoff's... no chrome strips... no badges.. indicators in the bumper up front... S - bug rear lights... 1 piece windows.. Smooth and almost modern for an old car... yeah? 🙂 These are some idea's..... Looks good in the 5 stud.. not converting though... haha Tyres...... White walls or not.... Going on to... I'd love to hear your thoughts....... on what you think would suit...

But I dont like the stone covers, the side chrome trim or the chrome on the windows...... cal look window rubbers for me..... 🙂
Wheels are interesting though.... :S
Not a fan of smoothie bumpers - want to go for standard ones painted. I really like the red line on the front of yours joel, would look cool with red wall tires.... 🙂

Your BugSelecta mock-ups don't match your Fat Chick Super Bug. You need to click on the 1303 model.

Im not a whimp..... I just dont did the look. And Im glad you raised the point that its not correct.... I think you will find the front screen curved? and the rear vents.... and Non L front guards also.... YAY!!!!!! bit of time spent chopping it. 🙂 Looks amazing I say.

I reckon go german look like joels/mine. Just suits the 1303s so much more. Drop it, nice set of late porsche/BBS/any other racing looking wheel, a kamei. Can't go wrong 😀

I have to say, there are still heaps of 4x130 options. going for all disc brake setup in another stud patter is going to cost easy $2000 + Wheels. expensive for a student 🙁

True true. The good thing about subaru pattern (5 x 100 from memory) is that there are alot of 17 and 18s that are nice and are standard on subies that no one wants. We picked up mine with tyres for $500 at a Bob Jane and they are light forged BBSs. I was pretty happy with that

I know its not the same model as your's mate but a very nice example of a late model. This look could be done to a 1303.

That L is nice..... I just don't dig the bling.... I want it to be stylish... but drivable daily. But still a bit angry, but also not attention seeking. Unique.... I like the idea of the grill in the front apron though. be good for an oil cooler.... 🙂

I still like the BRM 4's though. but i found some nice wheels on ebay, for track use.... but that will never happen... for a few years.

Yeah they are a tad small but with the right tires they do look good. Plus smaller size = cheaper tires. They look good on that car they did for the motor magazine for the 10k challenge

Hey Dave, where can I find some pics of the 10k challenge???
Small tires are cheaper, which is good cause I want to go for federal 595RS's 🙂 $$ still pricey though....
