Where did you find the 9-spoke wheels? I spent ages looking for them!  :scratch:

They are listed as "Tarantula" wheels, under the 13" drop down list. It just goes to show how backwards the Americans are about their cars, to call them that, rather than "9 spokes".

T'is a fair point, and of course, as every good American knows, all Tarantulas have 9 legs…  :scratch:

If you want to draw a stock looking Golf, using the website's little application, you have to spend about 10 minutes removing all the American rubbish from the car to start with……

I made these.
Look pretty hot IMHO.



I have no idea how to add a photo to a post.  ops:  

Wierd - I tried the obvious (image tags) and it didn't work

Maybe the hyperlink needs a www. style address?

(don't click on the link btw!!!)

(edit) Just had another fiddle and they now appear - looks like you didn't have the correct url in the image tags.

What wheels shall I get for the summer? Think the ATS Classics look the best, although the widened steels aren't bad - anyone ever seen them in the flesh?

Damn why are my pics so small?!!!

Because you're from the SW?

Ha ha well in Paul! :wink:  

these extra wide steels were a hot rod trend, they are made by using a wider rim and welded to the exsiting centre section - this can some times create problems with balancing etc not to mention the dangers in mucking about with wheels.  I think this is illegal to do now

 8O very seventies DIY then, sound like potential kamikazee-ditchfinders - look good though.

I agree they do look cool, a mate of mine whos into custom cars had a ford pop with 'banded' rims and almost a quarter of the inside of the rim of one of the wheels was made up with balancing weights 8O

i'm loving the wide steelies and black metal bumpers  8)

I know weller do steelies…not sure if they do they 'that' wide though.

mine in 6months i hope….

Complete with big fat side repeaters ? ops:

This is what mine will hopefully look like when it's finished, got a few months to go though.  My Minilites weren't on there so I couldn't put them on and mine will have a single lamp VAG grille without any trim!!
