Yeah, I’m buying rims later this week. Which rims out of the couple selections do you like the best? They are going on this car.
either… Flik Artic (Anythrycite)
_angle_zoom.jpg)
or
ALT Racing Tangents
both are within $50 +/- of each other.
I just wanna see everyone elses opinions.
Or do I keep looking for something with a black spoke and polished/chrome lip?
W/e it is i want a fairly large deep lip.

paint the black moulding and handles red ( or respray w/e )
and go with the alts, 1 because they look better, 2 because there doesnt need to be anymore red vws with black rims rollin around hehe 😉
or why not just save more for go fast parts

the trim is getting painted…the handles can be painted, but its a PITA. Its either hit or miss, when getting the handles to hold paint well. They tend to get wear spots after some use…maybe ill just clear the fuck out of them.
the go fast parts are also on order for next week as well.
ill be @ 200+ whp when all is said and done 🙂
and all for under 1.5k

Alts are going to look small no matter what. They are BBS LM copies… 18" minimum, most MK4 guys go to 19", and I think those are both way too big for an MK3, but thats just my opinion…
Look around on the vortex there are some decent used deals on rims.

holla son
plus 19’s too big, 18’s are gonna suck…and i think you have to do some wheel well shit
17’s are good.
id rather have 16’s but the price difference is so miniscule…17’s will look better

ALT. IMO, the black/polished lip thing is kinda played out since it’s real popular lately. I see so many cars with that look. Get something different. 🙂 I was never a big fan of it to begin with. Less so now that I see it so much!

Just spray paint your current rims red and put some yellow lightening bolts on them
