yep it is me again - so I am in the mood to change up the wheels and tires. at first I thought I wanted some minilites. but now I would like the classic fuchs. there is an issue however my 73' still has the 4 bolt hub and I know the real fuchs are for a 5 bolt configuration.
so my ? is what is the best knock-off/imitation fuch I can get that will give that real fuch look?. the pic is what I am going for. also what is the tire to go along with this and I would like to go as wide as I can. -jp Attached thumbnail(s)

The el cheap-o way is to run adapters which are $100. It will be tight in the back. Buy the 15x5 1/2 empi wheels in chrome. Do not buy the 15x6, as the flower petals dont look right. I have adapters on mine for now but my wheels are OG.
