The obvious choice here is 22" Ronal Bears.

Brad if you do this, I will buy some expensive wheels from you (not bear clones). Serious.
But they must be exact, just bigger.

[TooFitToQuit]

It needs custom headlights. Just saying.

Not sure what you mean. Like we make giant 3-pc Teddy Bears to show you we're serious or something?

Won't these show you that?

Agreed

[IdontOwnAVW]

FTFY: There's no more "New" in the name.

FWIW: He was using that to clarify it was the new Beetle, not New Beetle.

I want giant 3-piece bears on this VW Beetle, and I'll pay to see it.

Funny thing is that one of the guys used to work in Burnsville, MN VW location, he serviced my car a few times, Ugur at BV VW was telling me he went to APR and bam, he's in the first 500 HP Beetle build. Small world I tell ya.


His name escapes me ATM ... I need to send this to the guys at Burnsville VW lol.

[NHDUBN#2]

Oh yes...IN

[patrikman]

RSI graphics? Errrrr no?

I am voting for 3 piece Daisy wheels, teddies are played.

[KahviVW]

Amazing amount of work!

Since you need room for the haldex, how about running side exhausts?

[Son]

It BEST have Porsche wheels. 19" Fuchs wheels from the Sport Classic! Please?

[unleashedd]

this should be worth following...

and for wheels, make some VW full chrome convex plates, like this:


and the car needs to be brown. or monty green

i now realized i may have more than just a slight interest in this

[atomicalex]

I'm still looking for a set of steelies that will fit over the brakes so I can buy the crappiest, hardest, longest tread wear tires in the skinniest size I can find so I can inflate them to 60 psi and do AWD burnouts.

Wait, what?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colormatched petals, please....

[NoDubJustYet]

I'm not a fan of the Beetle... But man, this thing is going to be awesome!

Can't wait to see the finished product!

[01tj]

This should be a nice build, the newest beetle looks so much better

[brad@fifteen52]

Nope.

A video of this is required now!

[atomicalex]

I have this vision of Daisys with clip-on plastic petal overlays, so you can change your petal color to suit your mood. Or even bolt-on petal overlays.

Please????

Nice. Having attempted several AWD burnouts in my 3.6 V8 swapped 200 Avant, I don't know that I'd want to do that again. It made the worst noises and tried to stand up off the entire suspension. Odd feeling.

Nope.



Nope.



Nope.

Modernized 3-peice polished EMPI 5 spokes? That'd be bitchin'. (The originals were 3-peice, too.)

[PowerDubs]

Partially amused and partially annoyed that the prevailing conversation of a thread concerning '500hp AWD' centers around the wheels.

What's next? Discussion on the coilovers or airbags?

I really hate what the trends have become in the last 10+ years. Uggh.

It might have to do with, and call me crazy, the fact that Brad from Fifteen52 (who will be providing the wheels) posted in the thread. But, who knows.

Well, the wheels are like the only mystery surrounding the car, other than the paint color. They pretty much outlined everything that's going to be done to it.

My thoughts EXACTLY.

I love the new beetle.. there is definitely a red 2.5 in my future that will promptly get a turbo kit, H&R coilovers, Recaros, and some LM's

You just want to play "he loves me, he loves me not".

Daisy-shaped turbo-fans?

Oh crap, sorry Josh & Derek - did it again.

[THE KILLER RABBIT]

Oh yeaa this is cool

As stated previously, we have a really good idea what the hardware will be, how it will fit and function, so the only thing left is interior, paint (wrap?) color and wheels. In other words, deal with it. I don't normally sweat things like wheels, but in this case it's one of the few unknowns. I'm sure if we were dealing with the other two (paint and interior) it would be no different.

This would be ok. Bear reps would be better.
