Takin' it way BACK! Retro Volks.

The specs look like they will fit fine. I'd hook it up with a fresh powder coat.

btw nice wheels! Weigh them yourself and let us know how much they weigh. I would not mind a set of these myself for the track and winter.

Well just a lil update wheels have been in shop now going on 3 weeks apparently they have been really backed up on work...I gave them a deadline though, they promised they will be starting on them this week...

Anyway they are getting refinished & powdercoated in a goldish almost bronze looking color

245/40 Kuhmo ecsta spt all round
