Can we at least have pics of the replacements?

sure :thumb when we get the new ones fitted we will definitely post some pics.... doing a couple of things to the cab... hopefully all before the newcastle trip. pics will be coming soon.

hmmm finally getting some new shoes are we?
Pssst just a hint, id be saving your old ones, just for an emergency.

Cant wait for pics...any hints would be great, size, bling?

Hmmmmm well ..... spoke too soon ....... ordered some really HOT chromey spokey 18 inch things and when the tyre people tried to put them on they wouldn't fit !!!!!! The offset was wrong (thought that they would have KNOWN that before they told me I could get them !!!!!!!).

Change of plan on supplier, looks like I will have to buy some German ones instead, so back to the drawing board ......

I want 19 inch wheels but Rod said NO ...... Boring !!!!!


Trace

doh your boring rod...trace must have 19's...its just a huge MUST

yeah the offset becomes a prob...just got adjustable coilovers put on yesterday and miriam looks heaps better. but the offset of the wheels is stopping it from going futher...hehehe not for long

hey do ya want some H&R 50mm springs

me ??? boring???? nope... not me... just the bank manager...

when they rang trace to tell her the wheels didn't fit she asked me if they were stupid or something... lol.. i said that the offset may have been wrong... apparently some makers do a compromise between subaru & VW with the offsets... then they make one wheel instead of two. so talking to this new supplier we just have to sort out the style we want - he's going to photoshop some mags onto the beetle for us so that we can make a choice that way.

how much do your springs lower by?? dont wanna go too low as i still wanna drive it.. and i know.. how low is too low?? are they progressive springs or single rate?

i think for the cabrio 50 mm might be a little low... we were looking at 30mm springs...
progressive springs mean they can change the stiffness depending upon the compression.. ie they can be soft for small bumps but harder for sharp bumps so that you dont lose the cumfy ride.... single rate are just that.. either soft or hard or somewhere in between.
have been talking to a company that deals with german cars as a specialty (and he seemed to know what he was on about) so they would be the ones to fit the springs and hopefully get our wheels through them also.

awesome go for them. Have a look back in VWMA when my white bug was in it...i had 30mm springs in that. Good luck

hay :P go the 19"inch and dont go 2low" as mine ended up setling 10mm llower than it was ment 2 and ride wasnt good with the low profiles " i do miss her some times " u going 2 the nationals at easter in sydney ????

she better come up and defend her crown...im trying to get time off to come down and give her some competition:thumb

you coming Cam?

I don't like competition ...... spoilt only child thing ! Would be ACE if you guys came down for it !!!! Same with you Cam, buy back your newbie and swim over !!!!!!

Maybe I will have some new wheels then ..... this choosing them business has hairs on it !!!!

i think il b going 2 nationals in my have 2 say it ford LOL only till kombi is going and yes how hard is it geting and haveing 2 pick wheeles:P

What I want to know is how on earth you managed to get such HOT wheels in Tassie and here in Vic I can get diddly squat ?
