I'm looking into buying wheels for a '74. I'm finding the pickins' slim or non existent for wheels with the proper back spacing at 5.5x15".
The car currently has the gaudy un-godly ugly star wheels from the factory. I tried to find new plain steel slotted wheels but that failed. That is what I want. Who sells wheels with correct width and backspace in a 15? Bone stock car. Thanks |

If you refinish the styled steel wheels in bright porsche silver and add trim rings, black lug nut covers and black center cap, they look great no reason to purchase cheap after market wheels
the common ones available with the CORRECT offset aftermarket are the fuchs replica and the so called gas burner wheels, all of the rest currently available in repoduction have the vw beetle outset I call it, and you cannot fit the widest tire. If you have a really nice car, then factory pedrini fuchs or mahle I'm looking into buying wheels for a '74.
