i have to do some little things on the interior

and i need to make a front splitter
because when doing around 200klm (125mph)
it is getting to search on the road a i need to do little
steering corrections just like in old porsche's
i going to make a splitter in the front to improve this
when it is doing better and i can test it on the autobahn next year
(i'm from holland and live 15klm from the autobahn ;D )

I really like the idea of the custom widened steel rims especially in 16. I found that the oroginal ducato (whatever) wheel weighs 13 kg!? too bad as i'm looking for an other set for track days. Can you prove that info please? The pre hub cap is a direct fit to the centers? And what about the porsche wheel nuts on the rear? Thanks.

Very cool car btw

i doínt know the weight but the are heavy but my bug is still fast enough ;D
but i like the looks

i bought ducato maxi fan rims and the front is widened 2.5 cm and the rear 6.5 cm the hub are pre '65 i think installed the oem vw hub cap holders on the steel rims with a rivet
i have used the oem porsche wheel nuts in the front and the rear
after that the rims are powder coated
