That looks like sex with the standard steelies! Widen them an inch or 2 and that'd be awesome!

YESSS!
That looks so hard! Just love the black steelies they really give the car a 'no bulls..t' presence. Just tough as nails.
Thats really inspiring mate, you've given me another idea to blow money on! keep it up. Its nice to see people removing the tinsel for a change

VERY nice man, just lurking through here as I do every blue moon and I'm glad I stumbled across this one

I'd love to think I could have something like this when my VR6 dies....

I need to do the same with the clocks in my MKII but wasnt sure about how to do it without wrecking the plastic, maybe ill give this a try.

just stumbled across this thread. Awesome work matey. Love the mods you have done too. you have improved the car heaps.

Sweet seats too

Did you have any trouble fitting the steelies with the 312mm brakes? What were the brakes off? I ask cos I have the same size but dont know what they came off and they look identical to yours buddy. Also planning to down size to 16" rims but didnt knwo if they would clear the brakes.

Keep up the great work mate
