They look very similar to the Konig Heliums I have on my car. I'm not sure they make them anymore though. They're great wheels for the price, I've hit some really narly pot holes with them, but they've held up.

Rotas of some sort.

OP: I hope you paid less than $1500 for that car. And meet your new best friend:

When I bought my first del sol it had the same ugly colored valve cover on it too. I guess we have something in common.

Looks like it's in rough shape, but i bet you'll bring her back to life Ashame there's no side moldings, but it still looks pretty clean. Just don't jump on to the H-T "jdm" bandwagon.

why not? sometimes those cars look really nice. The parts are also sometimes functional. OEM quality &gt; aftermarket quality in most cases too.

Yea they are Rota Circuit 8s with brand new tires.I didnt pay anything for it just a straight trade. I feel it was even though. The side moldings have been shaved as you can see. I was thinking about grinding it out though and putting some moldings back in there. The car is a bright green under the nash green sorta like that del sol color.

Since you have no AC or PS in there, I believe an H22 is in order. lol. Enjoy the car dude.

Just thank God you no longer own a Volkswagen. I hate VWs. I think that when the apocalypse happens, it will be sponsored by VW.

lol that's why the world hasn't ended yet. The 4 bug drivers of the apocalypse are experiencing wiring trouble. One of them had a flat tire, and since you have to line up 15 different holes (no exxageration) that all move independent of each other to put on a tire, it's going to be a while longer.

If they're driving corrados, Earth is going to be around for a LOOOOOONG time lol.

Ha, I agree with you on an H22 swap.

Though the apocalypse won't be sponsored by VW .

I like dubs
