Title: Rim choice
Post by: Boothy on May 08, 2009, 06:27:30 pm: Is anyone able to Photoshop these rims onto a red GTi or has anyone ever had a set? (DEVIL - RIVIERA 18" & DOTZ - ROADSTER 18") Or am I simply asking too much?

Theres so many rims out there and most of them can't be found locally which means I'm sort of guessing what they'll look like. Bummer!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerz. :happy2:

I know the owner of VW Speed, Mike, so he is the 'someone' and the link is for the ones he has for sale. They're brand spanking new and nice and light for an aftermarket wheel.

Drop him a line and tell him Mike Roberts sent you, he may well slice a little more off the price. :happy2:
