Group 4 Wheels 6x15 LM alloys - silver painted centre, polished rim to emulate 904/906 'alu-steel' wheels. Use these with Toyo R888R rubber on the hillclimb events.

Mahle "gas burners" for the 5 bolt applications.



These are my ultimate favorites! I have a rebuilt set in boxes from Al Reed just before he closed shop. One day our six conversion will be ready for them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm a fan of the Minilites too, but the Revolutions are good looking too. Recently saw this car on Craigslist for sale, and I really like these. They are called Cromodoras...



Love Cromodoras! Had a set in the 80s, so good to see them again.

My current steelies… temporary solution.

Maybe a deep dish for the rears is not such a bad idea…

I have a nice set of ATS wheels on my 75' that should come to life sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Cromodoras are very similar to ATS wheels that are German. Both have their names cast in the wheel.

I wish it had 5 lug Fuchs, but for the 4 lug question it would be the Fuchs for me.

I think the fuch is probably one of, if not the, best looking most flexible design for a wheel period.

Great looking example, I have the same car here in Buffalo, NY. Originally a CA car, same Palma, wheels. Working the restoration into the schedule, not heavily rusted. Is yours original paint?

Thread from the dead...

To lazy to look at all of the previous pages in the post to see if this was already mentioned, but I but found this when looking for something on another thread. I didn't realize that Mahles were a bit lighter than the Fuchs.

Mahle - 13 lbs. 4 oz.
Fuchs - 13 lbs. 15 oz.
914 Steel "Sport" wheel - 17 lbs. 0 oz.
914 Steel "Beetle" wheel - 17 lbs. 1 oz.
Minilite - 17 lbs. 15 oz.
