[VW Lady Bug]

i don't mind the look of them so much - but have to agree about the brake dust and the hard to clean... combine that with parking in the mud at most shows, and you just put a whole lot of extra work in front of you (more time for thre more you drive, especially since you're braking more).

plus, i'm the second owner, and apparently the previous owner had a small love affair with curbs - very VERY minor rashes... but I know they're there, and it's driving ME CRAZY.

looking into new wheels around next spring. thinking of possibly upping to 18"s - anyone know how much clearance i'd have then? (i live in a hilly area and have some issues now with the stock 4")
