Period correct wheels, nationality and car color
I've been playing with 14" wheels and color for a 1980 Scirocco. Along the way I think I've realized that not only does period correctness make a difference, so does the nationality design aesthetic of the car and the wheels and the color of the car itself. I want to paint it Delphi Green Metallic but that will only work with the Audi wheels and maybe the Kleeblatts. Alaska Blue Metallic would work best for the BiTurbo wheels. Aquamarine Metallic Blue is also a contender.
Very quick photoshoping on the wheels. Most pics are flat vs. the slight fisheye of them mounted on a car.
What do you think?
These are the original 13s on the car now which is why they look the best.
14" Ronal Kleeblatts
14" Maserati BiTurbo
1980 Audi 4000, 14"
13" Fondmetal mesh found on UK eBay... just liked them but tire size is scooting around town ONLY
