i say BRING BACK OLD WHEEL DESIGNS... if volk,advan and lets say designs from other companies like gab,ssr,sprint hart, sparco, bbr, etc etc etc back from the dead.. you would see a hella jump in their sales... they are bringing back old 4 and 6 spoke ssr wheels back... might as well bring back alot more...

something different: C4 Corvette "Sawblades" wheels on 5x100 VW's. Sawblades are 5x120.7, so adapters were used. These would fit a tC if youre into the style.
theyre 17x8.5 and 17x9.5

SSW is a ghetto knock-off. Theyre generic wheels with a SSR style centercap.
Some nice D5Rs.

Of course BBS makes 5x100, I just have no funds. Next Summer hopefully when I'll be working again I can pick a set up. Not too many tC's w/ BBS's... It's too bad.

H_T_H, I have a Mk2 Golf "old-school" project for this winter. The RMs are perfect for it so I'm going to leave them as is.
