VW wheels on my wagon.. do i dare?
these 17's were one of my favorite wheels on volkswagens and i need new tires and am on a low budget.

they fit with around a e40-42 offset i believe so they sit semi flush.

did a quick photoshop. what do you think.

old picture of my car, plus it was taken with a wide angle and i had bad placement on the rear wheel. but with all that aside... do i dare?!
