speedlines! do we all agree they are the best wheels?

Recommended Posts

funnily enough, as much as I love that picture I dont think a white C does the 16's much justice, I think they would look much better on a darker C - like myn :lol: :D

I agree with you - although I think if I had mine diamond cut like my 15s above it would work. I just cant afford to right now!!!

dont get me wrong, I think yours look awesome I just think they would be emphasised on a darker car.....I think I said something similar on your own thread - at least I'm consistent ay :) !!

I do like the Speedies, but for me, RX2's. Pain in the arse to clean and wondering if they're still gonna be there in the morning is an issue but they still make me warm inside when I see them!

 

 

Im with you there 100% 8) They look so at home on a C.

:) :luvlove:

 

 

Now that is a nicely balanced look :salute:

 

I adore the original Speedlines, but in 15" they're just visibly too small, and physically too small - for man size brakes :lol:

 

totally agree thats why you need 17's :D shame they weigh 10kg :(

i'd like 16's but the ones i've seen don't look like the same wheel

I always thought the 16's looked slightly different aswell, it looks like the central hub is different :scratch:

 

Nuts on the 15's look more inset.

yeah but do you have the center caps?? :D

 

£11 each at the dealers!

 

Anyway, of course Speedlines are the best wheels (for a Corrado) any other talk is just :cuckoo:

Have to say guys im in agreement, Corrado's do look nice on BBS's, Borbets etc, but you have to say that VW got it bang on back in the day because so many people like tho look of the originals. I refurbed my speedlines to a high glossy finish and I still think they look awsome. Stick with the speedlines not following the crowd I say!!!! :salute:

I do love the Speedlines, but like others have said, the 16" version definitely looks different. Shame cos I'd want the 16's if they were identical.

i think as a std wheel vw got it spot on back in the day but saying that i do like my current LM reps and my future new bbs Rc's just prefer a larger wheel filling the arch :D
