Just an update. I have been building mk1 vw's for 15 years and a lot of them were low. In my old age I've decided it's no fun as good as they look. With that said I'm selling the type 5 wheels. I wanted a set of 17" style 18 like the oem that came with the 318ti, but I picked up a set of Moda M1 17x8 et40.
I still want the oem look, so I picked up a set of 70mm BMW wheel emblems to replace the moda...one wheel had the wrong BBS cap and I happen to have the correct cap laying around. These will just go over the existing. I need to order tires for these and hopefully the type 5s will sell quickly.
Next up is 13" Wilwood brakes and an early OEM Pfeba sedan spoiler. Only issues is I may need to remove the rear wiper for clearance.
