beast! why ditch the ats wheels the cups that is

[richsurtees]

I never had it on the cups, but the image rims are purely epic anyway, originally built for a mini drag racer the rears came in at 13x10
Different dishes have had them brought down to a much more sensible 9" on the rear, was thinking of narrowing the beams to keep the wheels the same width but lose some of the poke.

Also, I'm not going to put a seperate thread up for the mk6 until I start to work on it, which won't be for a while as I like having a nice standard daily!
