I know this description is vague..... but...... there was a photo in a club thread prob 6-8 months ago, it was a black beetle completely done, could of even been a vert, with ET's and it was bagged. I think it was a guy from Japan that had it...... sorry for the bad memory but wish I would of saved a pic of it. I tried looking for it and came up with nothing. anyone have any idea of the car Im talking about? if so post a pic of it here!!

Those wheels arent og rockets ! the spokes look different and the lip looks different than og! They look like a different offset aswell. Am I correct ?? But the car is kick ass either way  |

holy shit!!! YES your right!!! those are aftermarket re-pop.... I looked at the ridge on the spoke and that was it. I thought there was a car that had ET's that was dumped like that? That could of be the car and I just forgot it was not OG wheels... sorry to get you all excited Mike!!!

hey tony, the rear was just a straight axle conversion with bug brakes, and the front was a beam built on the inside of the frame rails, instead of the normal 4 inch narrow or what they call a 4 inch beam....
