Old fashioned look?How is it old fashion lol
And 8 spokes everyone uses and the 4 lug BRM's I dont think would look right, unless you can photoshop some chrome ones on?I was thinking of the stock chrome rims.Found a site that sales 15x7 and 15x8's in them.They have the stock offset too, but Id have to run wider fenders in the rear which I dont mind.

Sorry, I meant that for the bi-color paint scheme. You're right everyone rolls on EMPI 8's, and that's enough to discard them. And i think they sell chrome brm replicas, but i'm not quite sure. What about some chrome fuchs?, they'd sure look nice, specially if you're into chrome rims.

Well you're right, i don't really like painted wheels, they are just rice to me.
That's an interesting style, makes sense to have a classic looking car with newer details.

Yeah when he told me the idea I was like huh? Whats Decko? He said its where old schools mixed in new school, but now I'm looking at rims and theres not a whole lot that look right, I was looking at the german look bugs and the rims they use wouldnt look right I dont think, but I think I got my mind set on these.
These for the front

These for the rear
http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant....gory_Code=1278
Kind of new school I think.

Ok, for my bug I need to buy stock window kits for my doors, anyone know any sites besides the ones I have looked at.When I get my windows in I can finally get the inside ready for my interior.Ive looked at sites , Jbug has a kit but I dont need new door handles an the other things that I have thats in there kit for 210.00.
I just need the basics, window scraper,trim, and other little ods and ends.
