I like that. Personally I prefer more retro wheels with some dish, but this still looks good.
I've seen a fair few photos of bugs rolling modern wheels lately.

I like that, my only criticism is the narrowed beam - I really don't like them.
Apart from that, it's a win from me

I think it's the colour scheme that makes it win. If it was, say, light blue with silver rims, or black with chrome rims, the wheel design/size wouldn't work, but the b&w contrast is cool.  |

Looks cool. Big modern wheels work on most cars but the stance has got to be spot on.

I like new wheels on old cars. This hasn't changed my mind. If it were mine I'd also have various sets of rims and happily run different looks as the mood took me.

Looks pretty good, would look ten times better on steelie's with nice polished hub caps and whitewalls.

It would look like the other thousands of modified beetles then though  There was a concept sketch in PVW a couple of months ago that looked awesome. It was a 1303 Gti on BBS rims with the mk5 seats and engine, will try and scan it. It looked so good I actually want to build one  |

Disks look beefy enough, I don't see any engine shots though…

I don't mind the idea, I just don't think those particular rims suit it. I was considering Porsche twists on my '65 as they can look awesome.

I don't like modern wheels on an early car. They do look a little better on a 'late', maybe because I don't like late bugs. Just my opinion, for what the hell It's worth. ;D al. |

Sort of know what you mean. I liked mine as it was a 1302s Looked sort of euro. But for some reason this works for me. I think its because its not trying to be EURO or realy fit any catagory. Its just its own thing.. Which is pretty cool for a bug. Most people build them to fit an ideal. Euro/ cal/ restocal/ stock........ my last one I liked to call resto stock haha Was slammed over 5.5 and 4.5 GT rims painted black and running bumperless or with its eurobumpers on... 1641 , 110 cam and otherwise stock ;D God i miss that car.......  |

I'm in the weird camp of liking the 1303's for some strange reason. This is the boxter bug, before and after:   |

I didnt like the 1303's before. Thought the bubble screen ruined it. But they have grown on me ill admit...

The way the wheels sit in the arches just doesn't do it for me!! A bug needs tuck and camber for my tastes. I would only ever run period wheels in corrects sizes on my VW's. So the wrong bloke to comment on this Euro/German/French look then!  al. |
