the 4-lug BRMs really look strange to me. If it has to be 4-lug :-) I would choose the porsche repros or 4-lug sprint-stars.

i had this dilemma too... it can be quite difficult to find nice 4 lug wheels that look appropriate. i chose these KronPrinZ as i found them for cheap and fixed them up all the way:  but there are a few other good choices around. |

there are lots of cool 4-lug wheels, my favourites being Sprintstars, but you have also the already mentioned 2.0 Fuchs, plus Pedrinis, Mahles, Rivieras... BTW I think it's spelled Sparkäfer  |

I hope you are  The replicas only look the same on the move...! The early replicas might have been closer in design... the spyder looks like tiger claws gripping the hub, while the replicas of today looks just like a bunch of fat sausages! |

The 4 lug brms were originally designed for mini's before the VW's, but they were 13" diameter. I don't like them either.

You mean those: You can get original 4-lug Fuchs quite cheap, in many cases even cheaper than the set of new repros, so no point of buying the repro in the picture. If I would be buying wheels for late model and wouldn't like to spend a lot of money I would go for 911 numbered 5-lug Fuchs, even they're missing the look of earlies they would be still original. |

the old set used on Alien bug.. did not get lisens with the front runners on...
american racing front runners..
and crestline? they have alu senter and face, the rest is steel.. anyone nows anything about them?
Those Crestline lookalikes.....Don`t know anything about them. But I have a single one myself. The rim is really heavy and the welding between the aluminum and steel doesnt look too convincing....Does yours look like this one at the rear side? |
