Interesting, but would be better if he finished the job and fixed the rear wheels moving forward.
Ruins the look for me.

Works for me, but then again I like Venoms  ;D ...and for those who don't, here it is on some different wheels.      |

I'm gonna get a ribbing for this, but..... why has he got those horrid stretched tyres?  just looks soo wrong, and/or like he couldnt afford the right size tyres for the width of rim  otherwise, I'm quite liking the look of those wheels, even with the broken suspension ;D |

What causes the rear wheels to get pulled forwards when lowering a Mk3 or Mk4 Golf?

There was an Astra Cab posted recently that sported those Range Rover wheels too. It looked great.
But then they're a great wheel.

The Image splits are his latest set, but I have to say I prefer the Posh Venoms, that car became borderline iconic in the Watercooled word with those wheels on and as much as the Image wheels are lovely, and no doubt cost a fortune they just don't have the same impact for me.
Having said that, it is nice to see someone keep on evolving their car even when it became as well known and loved as it was with it's old look. I hope he keeps on moving forward and drops a few more looks yet.

What causes the rear wheels to get pulled forwards when lowering a Mk3 or Mk4 Golf? going too low, its just following the arc of the trailing arm, accentuated by the size of the wheel. |

It looks as if it's been punted up the rear and had the axle pushed forwards, I can't imagine it rides very nice.

It's on air so I'm sure the owner can travel quite comfortably when he feels like it.
