A is sharp but I like these--seems like they have little deeper lip than the others ,which I like.

What size rims are you getting

Somewhat true. I think they lost that memo when they designed the "sport (color-keyed)" wheels. Allthough they look great, they look a bit busy with all those fins between the spokes. I'm sure they're a hemmorrid when it comes to removing the brake dust.

Actually the hemmoroid shows up when you don't have these wheels but want them and you see the price Yikes!!!!

Are they expensive. From that comment, I guess that would be a yes.

Dude, Your avatar gave me my laugh for the day. Thanks. It's awesome by the way.

So far i do like Rim A--

But these are ones that I have considered for my red nb if i go to black.. Look good on black nb also. Very close to rim above but different co. The rim above does have deeper lip.

Choose what you like the most, but if I were to put any on my car of those three it would be "A" without a doubt, but keep in mind I have a yellow new beetle.

thanks everyone for all your comments and suggestions!! I think I have made my decision but right now I am at a hold. My brother has a Honda Accord with similar to style A rims that are black that he is thinking about giving me. SO, I can spend the money for a brand new set, or get a set for free? I am just waiting for him. Stay tuned and I'll post some pictures as soon as they are on. Thanks again!!!

I like type A to go with my personality...

Make sure the bolt pattern and offset are the same on the Honda wheels. I know previous Honda generations (2002 and earlier) were 4 bolt, unless you got the V6 which was 5 bolt, but the pattern might not work on your Beetle. Also, you have to worry about the spacing of the bolt pattern. The beetle is 5 x 100. In fact...I just checked at

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm

and I don't see any year Honda that is 5x100. I imagine there are adapters you can get.....maybe someone else with more wheel experience can chime in...

Darn it! There goes the idea of free rims . . . I'll have to look into this!

Thanks though for the heads up!
