Top is better, chromies should be outlawed and thrown in the trash |
My preferrence would be the top as well.
The chromies simply remind me too much of the 70's, 80's Cal-look VW scene in S. California that I lived through. I wasn't a big fan of them then either. I preferred the Centerlines! _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

I prefer the bottom one only for the higher stance. I'm just not a fan of lowered cars.
I agree that the wheels are, well, not very appealing. It would look great with originals. _________________ Gone but not forgotten: 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1966) - another 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1996) |
