Super excited about this. It's just a quickie spray paint job. But the body isnt in great condition.

Wheels are xxr 002 15x8 zero offset with 195/50's.

IE stage 2 springs with half coil cut in front (needs another half cut off)

Waddya think?

Keep in mind this was a $500 car

LOL! xxr's are just knock off ebay wheels, I think I paid $350 for them??

Thanks CD!

I think a zero offset 15 x 8 looks cool. It would also be great for the track with some 225/45-15 tires, but I bet the turning effort would make me opt for narrower tires like a 205/50 on the street. Isn't a 195 a little narrow for that rim width?

It's a tad narrow, I think they say you shouldn't go smaller than 205ish. It is stretched a taaad, but not VW stanced out stupid stretch where it will pop off the bead.

My autox tires are 215/50/13 on zero offset wheels. With sticky v710's it is definitely quite an increase in steering effort at low speeds. I didn't notice much of an increase with the xxr's though.

I seriously can't stop smiling about how she looks

Hey Tom! It looks great! Did you respray the '02 yourself? Is it genuine Inka or is it Rustoleum rattle-can orange?? I've gotta know...

Have fun with it!

Thanks Jim!

Don't let the lighting fool you, the whole car is still different shades of inka and rustoleum. The flares were done with rustoleum "real orange"

I think with clear coat on them they would actually be near identical to inka!

Holly sure is looking much cooler, Tom! Enjoy.
