1995 Jetta

I have a simple question. I am about to get a '95 jetta and I am not a big fan of the stock rims (who is?). Anyways, I am a big fan of white rims and I was wondering where I could get some, I don't even want to change size for lower profile tires just stock size becuase of current budget. Also if do find some rims how can I keep them nice and clean from brake dust?

Thanks,
Todd

Instead of wasting your money now, paint your stock rims white and save up untill you can afford some 17's or whatever.

The brake dust question is easy. When you change brake pads make sure to get metalic or semi-metalic, dustless or reduced dust pads. That's the easiest way to do it. The white thing is just whatever you can find. Just search around. OZ makes some nice white rims. Or you could just find nice alloy ones and get the powder coated. You can powder coat most everything. It varies in price so I couldn't tell you how much it'll cost. Somewhere between 100 and 300 I think. Someone have to confirm that. But I think I covered everything for ya.

also to reduce brake dust get cross drilled or slotted rotors.

Lightbulb 1995 jetta

[font=courier new][color=darkred]the best place to look at rims is tirerack.com there u can see what the rims will look like on ur car as far as break dust u buy a rim polish it makes cleaning a lot easier.
Ialso have a 1995 vw jetta they dress up real nice especially when u got the dough vr6 with NOS its a huge diff. especially when u like to race well enjoy hope you take care of the car bro.

When Closed you can see through a moonroof and when closed you can't see through a sun roof

See I would have thought that it would have been size that determined the name. My old Montero had a slide to cover the automatic sun roof... so would that make it both... or neither? All I know is that my Montero had a Sunroof the size of the hood... it was awesome.
