See sig below !!

Got a few others to do but i'm going to take a week or two off untill hopefully my Opel gets here. If it gets here before then i'll start it.

It's school holidays at the moment and the kids have got me doing 200 other things instead

The wheels were for the Evo, but i may have to order some more .....or i may keep whats on the VW and use the 19" EQUIP that i have ordered for the EVO instead. What do you think ?

Personally I think the 5 spokes on their way from HLJ are perfect for the Beetle, and am not a fan of the OZs sitting on the Beetle at all!
Both the EVO and the Beetle are fussy when it comes to wheels, and again I think those OZs will look great on the EVO!
Go with the 5 spokes, even better if they have a slightly darker centre section. They suit the VW to the ground!
The Multi spokes, IMO, simply do not!

Hehehe! Well, there is point asking if I am not honest!

Hmmmmmmm, I see your dilema! But then 5 spokes suit anything!!!
That's Ok for the Evo then, just change the ones on the Beetle!
