Lupo's new shoes! (updated)

[Omes]

very nice Lupo! Last years topic i know, but I just saw this topic as ive always loved the Lupos. You can do simple mods to them and it goes a long way.

Phil / Filx, mate thats an awesome example you have, love the 8" wide at the back with subtle stretch and the tints in the rear windows only - nice touch.

Shame you can never get hold of em over here! I wouldnt mind owning one myself as a daily, great bit of fun to drive especialy in GTi form.

Omar.

Thanks Omar - it is a great fun car - I still get a real buzz out of driving it on the odd times I can prize the keys away from my wife.

The wheels have been on for about a year now so time for a change up soon I think

Apologies - not the most decent pics in the end but here's a couple with wheels on the car  Need a decent snapper like phil to take some proper shots as I've got no skills behind the camera.

[Georgia and Riley]

Been cooking up some possible new shoes for the Lupo for 2010. Work in progress but here's a little teaser......

The look a rare find Phil, what are they?

[Filx]

They're made by Arrow Wheels. That pic is a mash up of a few bits I've had sitting around for a while. I need to bolt them together properly and do a test fit as I'm not too sure if they'll even work, or look any good. That flat face and square spoke design might look better on a Mk1 or Mk2 Golf.

They look bitchin.

[Omes]

Nice mate.  Classic looking spokes and a nice dish to boot!

[Hoff]

They look very nice What colour are you going to do them?

[Filx]

And the "rears" 15x9, was to scared to work out the ET, probably around +10. Might be a just a little mad for the Lupo  . Would be a better fit for something like an E30 Beemer. I'll test fit for a laugh if it ever stops raining though.

They look very nice What colour are you going to do them?

Not sure yet. Possibly satin black face on the centres with polished on the "sides" of the spokes. Then polished lips and black bolts. All that's a while away though.

They would look awesome on  a Mk2

[AndyGti]

if they dont fit let me know i know i might know a bmw thatll look wicked on these!

[vag_nutter]

They would look mint on my mk1 jetta

[spooln]

Nice, similar to gotti wheels

Tell him to start saving 

They would look mint on my mk1 jetta

13x8s with 175/50s would look better. 

Nice, similar to gotti wheels

Mmmmm Gotti's  (insert Homer Simpson style drool here)

[RS ZWEI]

Nice, similar to gotti wheels

There is a MX5  around here with 15 inch deep dish ATS Cups that have Gotti badges on them. Will these be Cups or Gotti's?

[Filx]

I think these'll be the Gotti's Spooln's referring to.......

e.g.










They come in a variety of sizes and are 3 piece so can be built to suit a lot of applications. They look especially good (IMO) on boxy '80s cars, but they suit early 911s really well as well.

I think the ATS probably just have Gotti caps on them in that case as I don't think they did an ATS Cup style wheel.

[spooln]

Thats the ones, those are 55As.  http://www.gbsalpine.com/wheel/gotti/eng.html
