I know they are Enkei's but can they be classed as proper cal look style?  I like them, but forever getting jibes about my buggy wheels from some un-named individuals  Any old pics to prove my point would be much appreciated, or tell me I'm wrong and I might get some alternatives Thanks Lofty |

Dude, if you like the wheels, then keep the wheels.
If you wanna be strict with the rules, don't make a cal-look with a standard sedan... Never seen one of these in the us...

 If I've broken rule number one then I suppose it doesn't matter what I do! |

I have wide 5 Ansens in my own car and I don't care if they fit someone's rules or not, I just like them, they don't weight a ton and they are not replicas, all good things in my book |

I wouldn´t care...Looks great on your car-so decide what you like and not what is "standard". I´m running chrome trim on my car- being proud of it |

Lofty...if your wheels aren't allowed then we need to throw out EMPI 5 and 8 spokes too. Your car looks great. The look is a theme anyway and I think the stance, one color, no chrome, IDA motor and other theme elements are more part of the look than just wheel selection. Making the car yours is what it is about. It has the look with the nice gray paint, t-bars, etc. Enjoy it!

i agree with the points made by rick and gregor and i think your wheels look really cool on your car!
they make a good match at first sight!
i remember finding a really cool webpage a time ago which had a massive list of 4 and 5 lug wheels for VWs but i guess i forgot to bookmark it.
does anyone still have the address?

I thought it was runtrod.com, but I've been on there and can't find it. Shame, because it was really comprehensive. Luftsick Tero on here has one on www.terovirta.com, well worth a look. |

Hey, I agree with what everyones said, car looks awesome just as it is. As for following rules, it's your car and if someone else doesn't like it, who cares? |
