It is indeed a nice car and the front engined Classic Roadsters are pretty rare too. In the thread on wire wheels,it appears that they would cost about $2000. That gets the price down to a ”somewhat reasonable” figure if the car is as nice as the pictures show it to be. Besides ,the asking price is usually more than what it would take to…[Read more]

Info on the new gallery is in this thread:

ray10.  Realizing that you just paid a bunch of money for these new wheels, could you give us your opinions of them?  Can you tell who made them and where they were made?  They look like 100+/- spokes?  Roy

Well, crap. I can’t find my notes. But this was all recent and my memory is pretty good. So here’s what I found re wire knockoffs to be adapted to the 4-bolt VW:1. The most likely candidate for a legit kit that’ll maybe fit is the Triumph TR3/4 hubs with 4.5-inch Dunlop wires.I found them available at Rimmer Brothers for–here’s the link–about…[Read more]
