Well time to throw my hat in.  The 82 I bought in Vancouver has the 15"
BBS rims off of a A2 GTI I believe.  And with the car as low as it is, I
think it looks great!!  Unfortunately I have deleted all of the pics of
that car I had, so if Riley would be kind enough to send a couple to me
I can post them on my page for everyone to see.  

On a side note, the stereo out of that 82 mentioned above just got
stolen last night.  Fortunately they didn't break the console, I am sick
of going through those things, but they did pry the passenger side door
handle off and caused a shit load of damage to the door.  Fuck I hate
thieves.  The god damn hatch was unlocked!!!  They didn't even take the
subs and amp that were

back there, but they did go back there (the lid to my battery cover was
off).  Worst part is, the car is not covered by insurance because it has
not been safetied yet.  This car is beginning to really piss me
off!!!!!  Sorry, just had to vent.
