Whassup everyone! ;D Just joined so I thought it would be rude not to introduce myself and my car. My name is Jeremy and as you might guess I'm a big fan of Vee Dubs, but generally appreciate anything retro. Currently drive a mind-numbingly dull honduh something-or-other on a daily basis, but my real car is a 1991 Passat type 35i variant. Not as retro as some might like, but hey, here it is:      The white one's my old daily before I gave in to japanese reliability!  Plans are to get it back on the road asap (needs engine and rear quarter repairs) then lower it a touch more, and try and source some wiiiide steelies for it. Let me know what you think... |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Thanks for the comments folks! I'm glad it's considered retro enough!!! ;D
The wheels are Strosek 7x16". Strosek is a Porsche tuning company (as you may well know), so these 4x100 fitment wheels are quite a rare find. I'll see if I can find a better pic

Thanks dude! Yeah I found that thread last night. I have barely slept I'm so excited about getting some wide steelies on there! ;D  Not sure whether to do my stock 14"s or some 16"s I got lying about. Thinking the 14"s either 8" or 9" wide. |
