I personally think if you're going to run 17s they need to be really tucked up inside the arches, or else it'll start taking on the roller skate look.

I've not seen many buses with 17's that look right. There would need to be a hell of a lot of tubbing going on to get 17's to sit right. I don't see the point in all of that when 15's look right in the first place _________________

I think 17" Fuchs look wrong however 17" raders with the thin spoke look great surprised the BD Samba above is running the cheapest crappiest MWS rims though _________________ 54 RHD Genuine British Kombi one of only 7 known to exist and I might add 1 of only 3 on the road : ) |

yeah they look better not polished, these have been my favorite wheel for a while, and they do come in different sizes too.
Very VW appropriate _________________ regards
