thoughts on these wheels



I don't have any desire for 16" wheels on a Scirocco.
The rifle rack is a good idea. 
I'm working on one to hold two short rifles overhead, just behind the sunroof, but not deer rifles. 

Deer should never be thrown over the hood, especially on a Scirocco. Best place for deer in a Scirocco is in the back, rear seat folded down. 
Most I've ever carried at one time in my 86 8V was five Pennsylvania Whitetail in 1989. Laid them in there smallest first to fill the spaces, then put the largest in head first from the rear and placed Bambi's head between the two front seats. 
Ground clearance was a problem, but they all reached my meat rack safely. 
Would 16" wheels have given me more ground clearance?

16" on a rocc? It'll look like it needs lifting, a rifle rack in the back 
and a deer over the hood.
But what the hey, your in Texas  :)
