I just showed this to my wife....THIS is what a drop top is supposed to look like. It's PERFECT! I'm striving to make her's (Galactic Blue Metallic) pretty similar in stance and attitude.

Well done sir.

Not quite perfect, but thx anyways!

Watch for "improvements" shortly.

Bump from the dead...

Trying to decide on 225/40s or 215/35s for my Aristos...

Fwiw I drive 200 miles interstate a day.

[bigsexyTDI]

meh...

ya know I dont really know how wide Aristos are... 7.5 probably. I don't think they are 8.

[J.Owen]

Just bumping this to the top. A lot of these pictures are dead, so if possible, could people update their photos. It would be nice to keep this around as a resource.

I'm looking to get the new Retro Wheels that come with the 2012 beetles on an '04 TDI beetle, i would like to know if its possible? Not sure if available yet?. Thanks.

[arainaxo]

Boyfriend works for VW, and from what I understand the 2012 Beetle's lug pattern have changed to match some of the newer models like Passat, (I think.) So you'd have to get adapters to make them fit! The retro piece is a hub cap cover that clips on.
