Interesting item on AOL at eBay Motors web site item#2406760618: Volkswag...

[rocco_crossing@hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Other than the paint sceme being IMO a little ricey its not too bad. On the 
fact of rims, the more rubber wrapped around a rim the more it looks like a 
truck tire. With shorter sidewalls it looks a lot more agressive for a car 
or lowered truck. THer is not really any benefit to the larger wheels that I 
know of. There are some minor ones like it would change the gear you run in 
on regular driving, but then it messes with you speedo.


Peace Out,
Rhett
