Figured we need a place so we don't hijack other threads(as much) to talk about wheels.
Post your wheels, wheels you want, questions about them, ect. Only rule, don't call them rims!
Picked up some C5s earlier.
Was thinking of doing this to the center caps. It's REALLY easy to do. Just do a little bit of cutting with a saw and sand them down. The wheel and center cap will be white. Have my eye out for either chrome or red lug nuts when I do it. Is that too ricer? hahaha
I was thinking I snag some on Ebay and see how it goes. Since they'll be white anyway condition doesn't matter that much, as long as they sit on the wheel.
I've only got three of them right now, so I have to buy some anyway or run completely capless.
so im debating about doing a feeler thread for the works wheels.. trade only.. feeler thread. just to see what offers come my way.. id take a set of amg monoblock 2 piece... oz futuras (keskin kt1s are the reps of them), tracer tech 9's (mam mt1's are reps), bbs rf's, or something other interesting.. still up in the air about it though.
*edit* im going to sticky this.. so we can continue to bs about wheels

i want another set of staggered 2 or 3 piece wheels.. 2 piece only if its one or two types.. otherwise 3 piece.. and theyd have to have adapters / spacers with tires and be staggered in mint shape.. to trade for the works wheels.
too much of something can become tacky... less is more.. as some say.. i tend to get on board with that theory alot...
thats why the green stayed under the hood.. and didnt carry through the whole car. if its to loud for me.. i close the hood.. and i dont have to see it every day. but at a show or in a line up with cars with hoods open at a meet and greet etc.. its eye catching.. and always makes people have a double take..
see if you cant retrofit some VW logo in the center cap, otherwise I'd go with gunmetal or standard chromies, colored seems a little euro trash--maybe if the wheels matched the lugs?
For the centercaps I could do VW logos. But really, it would have to be like a carving under the paint or something really subtle, like the original caps did with the corvette badge.
They're very plain rims, you can't really go crazy with them.
I have a 2001 jetta 2.0. The other day I took out the guage cluster to adjust the face fo rd the Rpm's. I also made sure the battery was disconnected while doing this. When I went to put everything back together and start the car it wouldn't start. The little immobilizer light is on. I had a...
With winter upon us I'm finding I always have moisture on the inside of my windshield (sometimes frozen). Besides a very expensive mechanic visit, any suggestions on how I can prevent this?
