Made me laugh because it reminded me of this:

The rotors are only really concave in the 20" version and Ceveman wants 19s.

And they only really work on low offsets, a la B5.

I know it's off-topic (shock horror), but you NEED to look at THIS. The interior?!?!?!? Why would ANYONE need that many dials???

If cars could get elephantitis, that is how one would look after escaping from the sanitarium and raping a paint factory.

What a colossal waste of time and money to produce something so incoherent and, in my eyes, as ugly as a scab on a dead crack whore.

Still, gotta hand it to the guy - he didn't do things by halves. Bet he started with the wheels just like these, though...

The link takes you to the wrong video. i assume you are talking about the video at the top of the list on the right hand side rather than the one the link takes you too?

Bam, everyone needs that many dials when driving... have you never been driving to work and wondered what the time is in 15 different cities?

But why have the rear seats been raised and mounted up against the roof?

The link takes you to "THE BEST TUNING GOLF"... right? The mind boggles, utterly, utterly pointless.

Must be something wrong my end, when I click the link it takes me to the crying Golf advert. The best tuning Golf is shown at the top of the right hand side of the webpage. I kinda guessed that was the one you weer talking about though. It's a bad as that M3 on pistonheads last week.

They look cheap IMO. Might look a bit better if the inside were painted in black. Still wouldn't suit the RS6 though.

Good spot - that's the same colour as my car! I agree that the wheels are too 'open' with too much space between spokes. Lovin' the concavity though. :)
