...Sold them after discovering that they flexed around hard corners...

Never a good thing!  Shocked

No, it wasn`t. I was running dropped spindles so they were close to the lower trailing arm and when I would hit a freeway onramp they would rub just a little but that was enough for me. Besides I had a set of four lug Ansens to go on instead.

No matter what style, year or make...wheels should always have 5 spokes or more. 4 (or even silly 3 spokes) look like something from a cartoon...well...in my oppinion anyway.  Wink

bill or rick can you remember this car Huh

Both the (Rasberry)Ghia (Bill's brother talked me into it) and the 61 were mine back in the early 80's. Sold the Ghia to buy the vert. I cant remember what ever happened to the wheels.

This came in a box of VW literature I just bought.
I thought it might help identify some of the "Crestline" look-a-likes.

I can't believe that none of you posted the old Cal-Look standard wheel - the wide 5 Centerline!!!! Grin  This is a shot of my old '62 Beetle from 2003.  Note the original Firestone 7" slicks in the rear. Cool

Last nice set I heard of Went For $8000.00 They Are Neat Wheels I Recently Moved from So Calif to So. Dallas Texas And Guess What I Found In Texas? heres a Picture and they were less then $200.00 still have some Texas Mud on them LMAO  EAT your Heart out Dave LOL




I hate to beat a dead horse, but..............

Once again I have to point out that you Shubee are trying to lay claim to aset of wheels that I own and you've never been close to except in the pictures you find on the internet.

Do I have to lay all the facts out in this thread too or are you going to man up and admit these are not your wheels, never were your wheels, you've never touched them, you've never been with in 1000 miles of them.

Then don't. Two posts on this board and both of them pissing into the wind about some wheels someone may or may not have. I mean, is it really that important in life?

2 post because I'm not a Cal Look guy and don't frequent this forum.
But when people start telling me about someon claiming to "own" my stuff I had to come over and have a look.
You should be more upset with your "regular" here Shubee2 for lying to you guys.

I agree with Greg - lying about stuff you have/don't have is just lame...
Shame the other thread got deleted, I was beginning to enjoy myself...
Now this isn't The Rants, so I can also understand that mods try to keep it civil.
