I need bookends. I have to do that!

Only 1 problem, Fuchs are probably too light for good bookends smile.gif

Add lead to the backside

I run 'em on a /6 conversion. So what's the problem?

Someday those 14" fuchs will probably be worth a fortune. There was a time when a 914 wasn't even worth cutting up to make a couch out of it and now really nice /4's are bringing big bucks.

Wonder if a steel wheel cut in 4ths would sell?

Add lead to the backside

Just put some rubber feet or a rubber strip on the bottom.

what tool would you use to cut these aluminum wheels?
I have tried a bandsaw...blade gets filled up with aluminum to fast.
Cut off wheel, nope...
Sawzall, yes, but not to accurate.

You guys do realize that all the best Low Rolling Resistance tires are only available in 14"? dry.gif I'd be looking for a set of 14's for my EV conversion if I had not already added vented rotors front and rear under the 4-bolt Fuchs thanks to Mueller's hubs and Eric's V-Kits... beerchug.gif

Still working on the conversion. welder.gif Anyone got 12 Group 24 12V batteries they don't need? I just nwant to borrow them, so I can do some driving.gif !

I could use a set for the Ghia someday.

Eric,

I had intended to do that once upon a time and then got scarred off about load rating

the factory used these wheels on cars that weighed less than 3000lbs

I got to thinking that a loaded trailer may exceed some safe weight limit, and I don't want to find out first hand what that limit could be.
