Well the wheels came in today.
They look sweet (to me).
Im going for a simplistic retro rod look. not the blingy tall wheels that werent even thought of way back in the day. Nothing wrong with em, I just aint shooting for that look is all.
So ...
I got some bullet lugs. Those with a bullet center cap (push thru from the rear type) will get me close enough to the old "spyder caps"...
Im having a helluva time finding anything near 51.1mm (hub hole size) so I might have to make something.... stay tuned....
for now, the tires aint on (thats tomorrow)...
heres the wheels..
The bullets fit in there nicely.
To answer the Q's from above...
I got these wheels off ebay. They are old VW cornonado wheels, but never been mounted. SOme guy got a pallet of them and was selling 11 sets. Mine still has the stickers on em in side the rim! and they are 15 plus years old...
I do not know what caps will fit them... but someone on a VW forum might.
And as for when its paint time, soon candyman..soon.....
