Default new wheel idea

OK so if you keep up on your VWs you would know that the new VW GTI '06 is hot, well i was lookin at the very intresting new wheels it has on it and i think it would look very good on a beetle

Those wheels are available at Lakeshore tire & wheel
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com.
They're called "VX93" under VW replica wheels. I was seriously considering purchasing a set, but they're $250 ea and only come in 18" dia. - too bad they're not available in 17" size.

IMO, they look better on the NB than the GTI!

U know what? Those wheels look great on a white NB, just like they do on the white GTI, but Fowvay photoshopped them onta my vert and they looked like crap...

3-spokes are for motorcyles 'little buddy'.

The round holes on the GTI would seem like they would work with the round-for-a-reason concept, but I think they have to be on the right color NB, white, red and silver most likely...

Photoshop them on yer red NB Gilligan...
