So you're suggesting that he should paint and detail the pan, then grind the paint off so that he can weld in the mounts? That wouldn't make much sense.

(and 165/45/15 look downright ridiculous on a bug!)


i'd be curious to see a 195/70/15.

My taillights are right, Its a ribbed, bullet car, As far as wheels go I am not putting my earlys on until she goes to paint. I want to work all the bugs out of my 5 speed and 2332 with junk wheels. Know what I mean?
And before you ask I am about to close on my first house and have to plop down 30k for the down payment (15yr note). So I'll roll her to local events with white primer, white wheels, chrome trim rings, nipple caps, and black stayfast. Can't afford a paint job this year...
