looking for ideas for my ride.

[VAG_Tech]

I was going to do white walls but I recently bought corrado 4x100 15inch steelies and I can't find white walls in a 50 series. The lowest profile is 65 (marshmallows). I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas. I know I could use fakey whitewall inserts but I don't think I want to go that route. It's all or nothing. I was thinking about red line tires but I still can't find them in a 50 series. I really want to use the corrado steelies but I'm running out of ideas. This is where you guys come in. Any ideas? I am doing a rat rod style, I was thinking of keeping the car red and painting the hood and trunk lid. For those who don't know what the base for this project is it's a MK3 Jetta 2.0l soon to be turboed.

I like this, but with steelies.



The steelies look like this only silver and I want to incorporate the center caps and wheel bolt covers. Hey, should I chrome them?

Re: looking for ideas for my ride.

widened steelies are hot. I would do that, and some sort of matte? finnish. A green color would looks good or a blue.!! or maybe a flat black with a checker'd roof, that would be wicked. and a roof rack!

Re: looking for ideas for my ride.

Can anyone post rat style mk3 jettas for ideas? Where would I get the steelies widened? Also what size rubber should I use to get the stretched look? Thanks for all your help!

Dayle, I'm off to Vancouver for training tomorrow till Wednesday then I work Thursday and then I'm off to Costa Rica for my sister's wedding. We will be back April 9th. I can help you out when I get back or shoot me the wiring diagram and I'll see what we have to do.

I love that look. I'm gonna keep the jetta red tho. I'm gonna chemically fade the paint I think and delete some exterior trim. Here's what the car looks like now.







It's halfway to rat already!

Re: looking for ideas for my ride.

I guess I could go with 185/65 15 white walls. I have a FK 60/40 suspension kit I'm throwing at it too. The tires would tuck I think and It may look cool. I may also have to remove the fender liners and roll the fenders. Can anyone p-shop something for me?

I wish I had p-shop skills.

That is Pimp! Thanks for the P-shop! I'm totally gonna do that. I want to do fk angel eyes and do this hood and grille. A roof rack would be a great touch too. Imagine it with a front mount intercooler too! (Thanks to Dayle)
