hey all i was wondering if anyone has looked at schmidt wheels??
i was looking around the wheel and tire threads on the volkswagon forums cause many of there cars are 5x100 with a 57.1 bore and i came across a few pics of them and i think they are sick.very spendy but so nice

and take a look at this vid on youtube

Is it just me or do a lot of VW guys like dish wheels? How do they pull that off? Rolled fenders only get you so much room.

^^^I know,i love the look.they run so much negative camber and pull/roll the fenders and hell i dunno but iam jealous...love big lips and wide clean wheels

Its a durability test. They are proving the wheel is strong and can take lots of abuse. Impressive amount of abuse to stand up to. Still a fugly set of wheels in my opinion but damned durable thats for sure.

and do VWs normally have fenders that flare-out that far?

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:49 pm

^^no those fenders are are stretched/pulled and rolled to get that flare,i love the look of the dubs with the fenders done like that.now i just need to do it to the neon.

ITS TIME TO UN PIMP THE AUTO!!!

i have a VW friend coming over to see what he can do about pulling/stretching them. the thing is vw's fenders are flared pretty damn wide from factory, so it's a lot easier for them.

k,keep me informed i realy want to see what you are doing/planning,cause with the spacers i am wanting to throw on i need to roll my fenders to get it to work,i think you and me have alot of the same ideas going on
