not feeling the teal, car is clean otherwise, so i'd keep it simple.

yeah was just messing around with microsoft paint. not sure what color they will be. teal, gold, or fully polished are the options.

[johnnytsunami]

fully polished gets my vote

[Belvader]

Fully polished would look best on here, it's a clean ass ride please keep it that way

[Mainflow]

agree with fully polished. a clean ass mk3 deserves clean ass wheels!

[roberto]

car is dirty but ohh well...

- took out the helper springs in the front and lowered it a little more
- added 8mm spacers to the rear

wheels to be refinished in the next few weeks, along with giving the paint a good buff and polish.

[roberto]

washed the car and added 3mm spacers to the front.

also broke my VR lip backing out of a driveway. good thing they are cheap. haha.

well me and my buddy removed the spoiler the other last week and tried to weld the holes closed. forgot to cover the window while doing the second side and this happened....


got a rear window from the junkyard and figured we would try the install ourselves. got the old sealer out and cleaned everything up really good. laid down a good sized bead of 3M Window Weld, and threw it in. worked out pretty good for my first window install. guess we will see after it cures and i wash the car. haha.

[roberto]

pulled the trigger and painted the gotti reps.









smashed my pan saturday, driving downtown on a street where they are doing construction. replaced it sunday.

like i said in other thread

16*9 seems like the legit size tho

and you've got the right amount of bolts too

i replied in the other thread, these are the right size and bolt number, but unfortunately are single piece and bolts just pop in.
