Lol! Look what this guy did to his fuchs

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=232856\

"they are fully polished and I putted little bolts in them so they look like a Two-piece wheel... see the pictures... "



Lol, I can't believe this guy drilled 30 holes in each of these wheels to put in a dummy bolt.

pictures are very bad quality and they spoil the effect of the bolts but you have a clue how it looks...

I think the bolts spoil the effect of the bolts!

i always wince a little when i see aftermarket (and factory) wheels with fake 3 piece bolts on them. i guess they have the same aesthetic coolness as non functional spoilers and cooling ducts that lead nowhere. i wonder if BBS realized this would become so copied. those buggers are such a pain to clean around.

"...4 new tires with them: two yokohama's and two bridgestones:
175/50/16 and 195/60/16 (european measures) ...

Why am I not surprised this clown has not only two different types of tires, but two different sizes as well. Oh...I see now, he's from Belgium. That explains a lot.

*the above statement is not intended to offend any Belgian members of this board, although I'm sure it will...and rightly so. I'm an a$$. Sorry.

Lol, I was so incredulous over the drilling and fitting of bolts that I missed that he purposely put two different brands of tires on!

Those bolts add to the structural strength that is so critical with the superwide 6" fuchs....

Consequently I - a native citizen of the country which engineers not only build the finest automobiles but also a brewmasters brew the best beer in the universe - can cut one or two spokes out of a Fuchs rim and you'll still approve?
