Sorry for the rainy pics hanging out the front door, but after being something around 25 inches in the hole in rainfall last year I am not complaining about the rainy weekend when we put my wifes new rims on her car. She had 3 requirements:

1. Had to be same as stock size, with only 9K on car she didn't want to buy new tires.

2. Rims had to be black.

3. Rims had to have a polished lip.


We ended up spending $400 shipped for a set of RSL 16 x 7 Ricochet's. Not sure if I dig the ring that covers the lugs but she is happy none the less. Only thing she wants now is to get the vinyl shop to make some vw emblems to go over the RSL decal on the center caps. What do you all think?

I like the new wheels! I see what you mean about the center ring, but I bet it looks pretty nice rolling.

I too am looking forward to some spring-time pics!
