They might not be original BRM's but I'm working on them so that that they look as close as possible like the real Thing...
They got Acid dipped, they will be repolished, machined to accept Original BRM Inserts, and then repainted...
The Picture with the Firestone is a before Picture...

I bought these wheels 12 years ago. BRM were too expensive even at this time. I didn't care because I wanted RADER wheels.  |

Here's a pair of my crestline wheels, been running them on my car for a couple of years now. They will be put into storage for next season though...

Cant imagine it to be a problem to have a pair widend on the backside. Personally I would like to have a little less offset on my front wheels, so I would be able to run them on a stock width beam.. But I think the design of the spokes would make this difficult

You could have the fronts narrowed and the rears widened... When the wheel shop cuts the rims in half they can offset the cut then switch the backsides of the rims. So from four 6" wheels, you could have one pair 5", and one pair 7" |

A friend have found a pair of original widened 4 bolts wheels. It seems to be 6" wide. Theyre are stamps "Lemmertz" and VW. More info? It was optional of standard for some models?
