PeteDawson Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) having the lupo lowered sometimes this week, idea was to go low and wide, here are a couple of rims up against my car, but brock b5's are also in the running. let me know your views! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited July 18, 2007 by PeteDawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picola Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I think the 2nd suit it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteDawson Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 1st ones are keskin kt1's 7.5x16 shown in the pic, but the other two i have are 9's, so id have to swap them for 7.5's, not sure what i want to go for, 16" are going to fill the archs too much and its going to have to be like a 4x4 to get a half decent ride. decisions decisions!

Silver! Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Do you have centre caps for the Keskins? If so I would say those, but I very much dislike seeing the additional multi fitment holes on alloy wheels, so if you don't have centre, go for the steels.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vworks41 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Think you might run in to problems running 7.5x16's on ur loop mate.Stick to those steels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the bathurts or G60s, they both look mint on a non-GTI Lupo. Check Readers Rides, I know there's a few.. MartyP for starters.Also, are you lowered in those pics?

I'll PM you in a sec.You can probs get them off VW but wheels new of a dealer are rediculously expensive. Keep an eye out in For Sale as sets always crop up, try an ad in Wanted too.
