Sam Dobbins, Creative Director at Vossen Wheels, is a great force within the enthusiast scene and a longtime Volkswagen owner. His Golf GTI RS Concept is a fascinating amalgamation of different car cultures with a particularly heavy Japanese influence via the Rocket Bunny widebody kit. To set his car apart from many others with similar body modifications, Dobbins put a lot of effort into making sure that the sheetmetal was honed to eliminate wheel rub, making the car comfortable to drive on a daily basis. The interior is stripped down, but the polished aluminum floorpan, race-inspired seats, and other accents reflect the exterior design. The GTI RS Concept rolls on Vossen wheels and features a Thule carrier box with custom, low-profile roof crossbars.Source - Volkswagen
