18" wheels, 5-spoke ??

[Noviisi]

Hello!

I want to make a techno blue 2.0 new beetle Rock!

So, first thing to do is to get a new wheels and lower the car.

Tell me what are my best options:

I want 18" 5-spoke wheels, but I know nothing about them...

So, recommendations please. And I dont have too much money, so "hot but economical" setup is what I'm looking for.

What is the best set to lower my ride to make a perfect fit with those 18" rims?

Thanks for helping!

Thanks gilligan. Those wheels are hot. But... not what I was looking for. I'm lookin for some more traditional 5-spokes (maybe "star-like").
By the way, what is that front bumper in the picture? Looks good. Where can I buy one?

SO, I still need help, "more traditional" 18" 5-spokes, please?

Economical way to lower my ride to make those 18" work, please?

And that front bumper, please?

The front bumper is the one right from the Votex catalog. Go to your local dealer and ask them.

Normally, I'd tell you to order from tirerack.com, but since you're in Finland, I'd look for someone local (read: in europe) that you can order what you like from.

The most economical way to lower your car is to buy a set of lowering springs, like H&R Sports or Eibach Pro Kit. It is recommended that you change to a sport damper when you install lowering springs. Again, do some searching online for a European source for these items. I could find you a bunch of places in the US, but that'll do you no good
