Nooooooo! Stripes be gone!

One of these days I'll get a few pics of the car so you can see them in their full hideousness. That may not even be a word.

I'll have to figure out a way to do wheel discs for highway / competition use though. These will be multipurpose wheels! Conventionally purdy at times, smooth at others. But always light and wearing glidey LRR tires. Maybe lexan discs, like on some of the efficient show cars?

I'm looking for a ~10lb wheel for the Golf.
13 or 14? You can stick ~9 lb VX rims on there, no? HX rims if you want 14's.
