Those are some pretty neat looking retro/modern wheels. Not my style but neat none the less. I think the car looks better with the wheels in the 2nd pic.

I personally admire those wheels both in 1st and 3rd picture in right column.

I hate when most car manufacturers put retro style wheels on their new model cars, it doesn't look right, on the other hand, when an American car company does it to their muscle cars, it usually produces good results, I'd love to see a new Dodge Charger or Challenger sitting on some 20" Kragars, that would look awesome. :D

"Update the SRT page Its been MONTHS"
..Almost for a year actually...
And yes, just I submitted lots of performance data that I'm already forgetting...
And, FL, Why did you remove Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra page? It's just like CCXR Trevita! The same road-legal, the same available to buy, it's just built in one unit, not a concept! (already sold for an anonymous buyer for $1.6 millions). And in comparison to Trevita unit, Agera S technically differs from any another Agera!
Thank you for an attention, and sorry for interrupting. :)
BTW, huh, since when does Beetle have an engine at the front? LOL
About rims, I mentioned because they are very extraordinary.

@ Mental: Yeah, the new Beetles do look pretty cool, more modern, yet still retro, I like the standard inline 5 engine, it actually gives the car respectable performance, but those retro wheels on the grey cabriolet and the black one just above the bottom photo look awful, I like the ones on the black one in the above picture and the white one below. I think Volkswagen should have made the new beetle rear wheel drive, but kept it front engine, but front wheel drive hatchbacks and hatchback based cabriolets like this one have become the norm, and what we expect.
