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.
The drug smuggler made it work.

A couple more shots of Graham Deans '54 at Stanford Hall.
Restored by the owner over 4 years, approx 1,200 hours put in. Won a brace of well deserved awards at the SSVC AGM at Vic Farm.

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

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
