The Cal-look Lounge

I decided to change the look of my car with some new wheels.  Thanks to Dude for lending me his BRM reps for the pic's.

Old look with Flat 4 Enkei's:

New look with BRM replicas:

Apologies for the crappy iphone photos.

What do you guys think?  I like the fact that the enkei's are not that common, but, love the look of the car on the BRM reps.   ???

Enkei's are sweet.

Stick with those!

I agree.

On this car enkei wheels look much better

Stretch, stick with the Enkeis ;D

LOL! The BRM picture is crap, and really dont do the wheels (even copies) justice!  ;)

Dont get me wrong, i like the winkies, but the BRM's were the nutz! :)

Your boss won't be happy, you might be doing yourself out of a sale.   :D

Heres a better picture. I mean quality wise, not just cause my cars in the background!!  ;D

Enkeis.
 ;)

BRMS, absolutely... apparently I'm in the minority here. ;D

Defo BRM's on that car.

.
 ..it's nice to mix & match with wheels, maybe have 2 sets ;-)

-personally, I reckon your car looks 'harder' on the BRMs  (for our European friends 'harder' is a good thing  ;D)

 8)

  I vote BRM. The look is very much to my taste,but that is what I run. Surprised at your answer Texas Tom!!

 

Enkei.....and maybe paint them gold... ???

Gasburners ;D

cheers richie

Ditto

Brm `s look fine  ;D

Too many Black oval's on BRM replica's around IMO , Enkel's make you car stand out  8)

Enkei's are nice, but BRM look more brutal.  :)

You will not find a lot's of help here to make your choice  ;D

Enkeis! ...and some Wide Ovals on the back!

This :)

i like BRM's on a black car,but if you want something different than the BRM and fuchs you see every where.
then take the enkei wheels.

henk!!!

Enkei wheels date the car, therefore BRM's is my choice... with detailing ideally.

I think your car has the "BRM" look..Never cared for the Enkei's, anyway. JMHO (ADAGP).

BRM's without a doubt, also removing the chrome trim from the running boards, sell the others.

X2. Berms have always been hard to beat. Those five spoke things just scream....wide 5 VW bolt pattern.
Perhaps a tri-tone treatment would help, IMHO.

Thanks for all the 'help'  ;) guys.

Looks like i'm gonna have to fork out for another set of wheels & tyres and just choose bewteen the two.  Better start saving then.

PMSL!! Seconded!!  ;D

GO on stretch, i dare you!!  ;D

Dude  8)

Maybe i'll get a set & put some slicks & frontrunners on them.......   ;D :o :-*

OMG! How good would it be if i ran Dudesbeetle on a set!!  ;D

It would sort of suit the car!!  ;D

Dude  8)

They would certainly suit the shit stickers.   ;D :D ;)

(Sorry).

Berms big man......all the way.(see you at BB,brakes sorted, out to play)

Enkei on the left and BRM on the right  ;D

Maybe go outside the box... black-chrome erco's would look mean...

The Enkei wheels look good. As someone suggested, gold could be an interesting and original idea and would contrast nicely against the black paintwork:

Stretch, it's got to be BRMs!  ;D Although Richie's suggestion of Gasburners is a good one, and Ercos always look good on a black car!
I'm not much help really, am I!

Enkeis! As it says in the feature in the new Ultra VW, they make a refreshing change from the usual BRMs and Ercos! So there – decision made, OK? ;D

Enkei's without doubt. Car looks great with these.

Don't worry about the rims and tires --- CHOP IT

You missed out Fuchs: the 'Labrador' of the wheel world according to many wheel aficionados!  ;D

Btw... Agree on Enkeis  ;)

PMSL.  I have enough difficulty getting in & out of the thing now !!   :D

For those of you that havent meet Stretch, hes 7ft 3". Fact.  ;D

Dude  8)

I think being 7-3 is the equivalent to being 6-4 270 and old LOL -- and yeah it is a bitch getting in and out of the Ghia with a cage

Do something that is 100% black -- not gold LOL

Enkeis

Which ever wheel is lighter..........This is Cal-look remember? Which ever makes the car faster.  Just kidding.
If it were me i would pick the Enkei's , love the look.

BRM's for me 8)

For me, the BRM's just edge it when looking at the pic's side-by-side...

One thing is for sure though, it looks damn good with either set!!!  ;D

Definately not enkeis. ... but only because I got set for my wifes bug! ;)

If you are buying another set, go for for something cool and original and never used now adays EMPI 5s ...........

Chromies and Caps!

I'd go with the Bermenkies. 8)

nows your chance stretch quick or they will be snapped up

 :D

PMSL.

I think Dude might actually be interested in these.......   :o ;D

I am!

How about centrelines Stretch ;D

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Cheers
Andy

Total Agree!

Andy, it's typical, a set has just come up for sale & i'm skint.   :(  Sods law I suppose........

You know you want them  ;)

I really do mate, but, it's not gonna happen unless I find the magical money tree !!

You sure you don't want to do a deal on them without tyres?   ;)

have to say Enkei do suit's the car  ;)
