After reading the VKG rules again... They seem very reasonable to me.

Even Ken qualifies with 15" Porsche wheels (no clarification on steel or alloy).

The only item I can see some good debate on would be the chrome trim. As it seems the European crwod might like this look... Hey if you like to have your VW look like a 1971 Buick blinding you with chrome refections that is cool! JK Maybe gold plat the rest of the car like the Low Rider crowd? LOL

I think there is an article in the tech section on blacking out trim if you do not want to cover up the holes.

Personally I think chrome does not fit the GL look as you do not see most of the European cars fitted with this stuff. Mostly plain clean cars. Especially the later Porsche cars. Chrome bumpers are cool on VWs, but then again there are few alternatives.

I guess it kind of falls into what is considered the GL.

Again I think VKG need to get together and really decide what the scope of the club should be. Then go from there.
