Here's a better pic of the driver's side rear wheel...i really like the way these rims look on this little car...i only run these on the street only....with the larger 18" diameter Konig wheels, i can actually feel a difference in stopping power...amazing but true...the stopping distance actually increased...oh yeah....for pads, I'm running the Hawk HP+....great feel and just a little more dust...accerlation with the bigger wheel is not so much affected as there is enough power there to spin 'em up regardless....but the brake progressiona nd stopping distances are so much better when i'm running the 16" Borbet's with the Hankook Rs2 - Z212's in 225/50-16....also, this little beetle is running GTI disks and calipers all the way around...

Enjoy!
