what do you think? are these custom? i'd buy them if them if i thought i could stuff them under my stock fenders. 7.5" -- yeah, right.... 6.5"s all around might work though. does anyone know who made these?

I don't know who made them but they were used alot on VW kit cars in the '80- '90s. The poor man's BBS knock off on the poor man's Bradley GT.

It depends alot on the back space of the wheel weather they'll fit or not. I have 7" with a 5" back space. But also depends on tire size. All 205/50-15 are not the same.

I dunno....on the right car, I bet they'd look nice...maybe black. Certainly not on my signal orange though!

I am color-blind so I will keep watching them.

Is that high bidder someone from the board ?

high bidder is a vwbug guy, not a 914 guy.
