Default New rims on the bug

I fancied a change of wheels as I needed 4 new tyres.
I decided on Falken 452's I believe( i think its them cant remember)
I also opted for a different look of wheel.
17" Compomotives =)
Just a quick picture so for the quality as it is pitch black outside.
Im going to have a bash at de - decalling the car also.
The very last pic is the look I want to go for on the bug.
Just nice and clean.

Looks nice. If your going for the look of the last pic are you not changing it from a Prodrive Style bug to a normal STI? Or did you not mean change the fogs etc as well.

Either way lovely car!

You know that there isnt fog lights underneath the Prodrive style covers right? My personal opinion would be to leave as is. The Prodrive model is considered by many to be the best looking bug out there.

Agree though that the amber fogs in the bottom pic look tasty.

Looks nice, I don't like graphics , but will look so much better without them.
Only my opinion though

I think once the decals are taken off and the car is clean the rims will look sweet. Thanks for both positive and negative comments. All are appreciated as we all have different tastes. I like to be subtly different =)
