Perfect! :buttrock You already got the car looking good in such a short time you own it. :redspot By the way do you have any pictures of your GTI? I wish I would had kept my VW MK3 as my daily driver.

Me too, and Alex even aproves! ;) Now the only question is whether to get the matte bronze or matte gun metal... Hmmm... :ponder

I'd go gunmetal. If you got bronze, you'd look like a JDM fanboy. :D

Well, the Works (in the first couple of pics) are available GM as well, and cost half the amount of the Prodrives...

I am partial to Volks and OZs. Are you going to get the hardtop?

bupton

10-21-2007, 03:51 PM

The hard top will come in time, but the one I want costs about five grand, so it will be later. I looked at getting OZs, but I already have GM Superleggeras on the GTI, and don't really want the same, or almost the same, wheels on both cars. Plus, the Ultraleggeras just look a touch too busy on the S.

The last picture is of the Prodrive GC-07s, and those look a bit darker than they usually come from the factory. Think that guy might have had his powder coated. They are still my all time favorite wheel for these cars though. Too bad they cost $2300 a set. :(

those would look great on the car. Gunmetal is a must!!

Well, like I said earlier, the Works (in the first two pictures) are also available in a dark GM, and cost half the price of the Prodrives. ;)

Gun metal is played out too...IMO

Bronze on white is great.

I had bronze Volk CE28s on my white hatch...

Black, bronze, gunmetal are all played out. Gotta do something different. How's about some Porsche Carrera influence? :evil2

I was also thinking about some nice white Yokohama Advans, but DAMN it would be impossible to keep them looking good.

Hmmm, I may know of a set. Pearl white with a thin anodized blue lip. http://www.hawaiiminiclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=133

Hey Vidal, I will be getting back at the end of next week. When would be a good time to get my car in with you?

Kunu

Alex even aproves!

Ben, you know that Alex's approval is the only one that really counts! I think Gun metal would look good!

bupton

11-24-2007, 03:53 PM

Nah, I am going with the latest set shown here. Matte black with red trim, to go with the black and red interior of the car.

you mean winner? ;)

I just have to get back home, and work the details with the bank to get these. Funny thing is, the guy that is selling these wheels lives in the next town from where I am staying, but I don't really think that American Airlines would not be terribly happy with me if I bought them and then tried to check them as baggage. ;)

victim...

those TEs are hot though...i really like them in black...would be interesting to see the black/red lip on a GPW though...but-it'd match the interior, so i think it'll be okay...

i still miss my gpw with the full red interior...bitch magnet to the extreme...
