gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Ach, ain't that much of a secret really, just a set of wheels... :lol: will look better with centre caps and tyres obviously, and the width (they're actually 7.5") will leave enough room for a proper slam...

gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Part of the reason I chose these wheels is because they're very similar to the 18" Porsche splits as worn by Andre Kain's UPS rado, so I think they'll work styling-wise... If they don't, pfft, no hassle to get something else...! And as for the wheel fetish thing - I've always had it (even had to change the wheels on my Citroen ZX) - just that with the Passat, I found the perfect set immediately and knew that nothing else would suit her as well as the Borbets... My problem with the C now is that since having the 301s on, I won't put a cheap and heavy wheel on her, they have to be top quality and light... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted April 22, 2006 bet the car will be back on 301's before the new year then :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
