Pics of wheels

Post by 72vbub »

I'm looking at buying these wheels (5 spoke version) but I can't find any pic of them on a car, anyone on here running them or have pics of them on a vw (preferably a bug)?

Look like EMPI 5-spokes, just the matte-black and red stripe are different from the more-commonly chosen polished (all or just the rim).
You can make your own drawing using BugSelecta, although I haven't been able to get it to produce the red stripe.

I did it on there using the red line tires and the black 5 spoke, but the rim still has the polished lip on it so i took a screen shot of it and i'm in the process of removing the polished lip. I will post a pick when i'm done to show what i'm going for.

I think the red lines look kind of good with that paint scheme, I'm debating on whether or not to get my wife's opinion on them. lol

It looks like you used the redline tires and blacked out the polished rims - makes them look like 18s.
I used Paint to black out the rims and then add the red stripes to them.
