After much trial, error, & money I got them 2 work. Offset, suspension, & clearancing didn't make it easy, but I am more than happy with the results.

Nice, except for the lowered pic, not my style. I'm not much into excessively large tires but pic #2 looks decent; in fact it looks like it has more ground clearance than it normally would.

Umm, OK to each his own I guess.
I'm just not into the "B-Donk-A-Donk" look

Honestly I hate those wheels, but they somehow look semi-decent on the Triple White.

i assume they are only 7.5 width? i have 20s and they are a 7.5 width and i am dropped 1.5 inches and have a 30 series tire. i wouldn't doubt that you could make them work. is it a 30 series or a 25 series? not too fond of it either but no one has cracked on my 20s yet.

OH... wait... it's a Beetle. Sorry, just saw those rims and jumped to that conclusion.

a) I don't think they look half bad.

b) the triple white bug is more of a shower than a go-er anyway, so the white inserts look at home on this car

c) the pics make them not really even look like 22's. if it wasn't mentioned, to me they look like 20's.

personally, i wouldn't run rims like that, but i'm just not a fan of chrome wheels in gernal, no matter how big, or small, they are. but that's just me.

"WOW". So I assume that you are not planing to drop the car. It's a nice set of wheels. I can't drive 22"wheels, it doesn't match my daily roads.

would like to see more detailed/large scale photos.
was thinking of fitting 22" on the rear to give my rsi kitted bug more drag-racer/aggressive look.
you got them to fit on standard arches but the look is not right it needs lowering, and judging by photo its look impossible, and for my taste it sits to high.

Wow........ I love bugs all of them. And yes i like like your's too but you do not donk a bug. You can go with the same wheels, lower it and it's hot, but now that you are in the bug family I love it.

i think my 20s fit the arches just fine. that all depends on tires not wheels. and can he even turn? i rub. and chrome just throws it all off. if it was just white wheels with the lip it would probably look good. can you post bigger pics of it all the way around?
