As long as you have good looking wheel innards (caliper, etc.) those rims rock.

Yeah, a good brake setup is a must with these, and make sure to use VW centercaps and they'll look pretty OEM.

Absolutely!


I may be a bit biased as I have some that look really similar.

they do come in 19 but its like $300 more for the set...and they come in 20's too for just $20 more than the 19's.... the guy at the rims hop says he puts 20's on beetles all the time and there is never a problem
