right ant been around mutch so a few small updates ,made a single rear pipe nice a quite , made some 18s fit as i dont like the porshce 16 fuchs i bought a few pics below
pic of porshce wheel
just like to be a bit differnert instead of useal porshce stuff ,evern thow it dose look nice,,,just exspense when things go wrong
dam ,refurbed them ,i fancy bigger type wheels ,i cut choped bean to get these to fit now lol a few pics and ive decied to make them mirror finish ,stand out a bit
they now fit front and rear lol
they should fit 215/35/18 on front
and anything upto 235/35/18 on rear lol extra rubber might handle a bit better in the dry,unsure regards steering lol ,i might have to had power steering |

Nice one, they've come up good.
I'm having a go at polishing some Empi 5 spokes for the 66 Bug project but the shape makes them a nightmare to do  Might end up just painting them and just polishing the outer rim
