The Cal-look Lounge

Can someone with some photoshop skills can do me a huge favor? I would like to see what my car looks like with some different wheels. I will get you a beer ;D

I have higher resolution wheel pictures if they are necessary. Thank you.

here's the torquer

rader  ;)

 ;)

Thank you very much, speedwell. I really like all of the wheels in this order:

1. Torker
2. Black 356
3. rader (dark grey, not gold ;D)

Very tough decision. What does everyone think??

leave the erco's on  ;)

grt Tom

Leave the Erco´s on, but get two 4,5"´s for the front without the bubble.

Black 356 rims woudl look hard!

Ercos for the strip, Torkers for the street... But then I'm biased!

do some BRM's like Sarge's  ;D

ercos ;D

Leave it alone and put t bars on it.

Looks Good With Torkers for the Street and Erco's for the Strip Everybody has BRM's they are already over played on cars

Some experimenting with black 356 steels could be interesting.  Otherwise the ERCO's suit that car real well.

So, 6 votes for ercos. 2 for the black 356 wheels (dare to be different pick, very tempting ;D) and 2 for the torkers/ercos.

I would love to keep the ercos and buy other wheels. I would have to ask a friend to store them since I do not have space. This car has only seen the strip 4 times since 2004.

Thanks for the help guys. I've got some thinking to do.

let the erco

I would have to agree with JS, leave the erco`s but swap the front rims for some Pie Pans without the bubble.
If this isn`t an option I would go for Technomagnesium 356 rims...

same here, keep the ercos and replace the bubble ones. ercos are one of the quintessential cal look wheels to me, form follows function, simple and beautiful.

Another one for the ercos without the bubble ones.

Now count the voices, check which wheel wins, and then choose a different one. The wheel that wins is probably the one that people want and which will be popular in the nearest future and consequently, after a while, will be considered “uncool” because to many people have them.  :P
My advice – do what you want ;)









I would choose torquers  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D


Looks good with Rader, the originals of course



Ciao

i'd also leave them on but like js said maybe get some without bubbles for the front

Some painted or cast finished Empi 5's would be nice.

5x130 American Racing mag D spokes Torqs, or the aluminum ones narrowed. Then early Heart fuchs 6 and 4.5s  polished and painted for the weekends, and 5x130 Ercos for the strip. Pull out  the 7r Fuch wheels for the Classic with 5.5s up front All running vintage style rubber. Christmas is coming.

Another vote for Erco's, without the bubble!

Thanks for the input guys. I actually planned on trading my bubble fronts to a friend who wanted them and he was going to buy me a set of standard 4.5s. I will most likely buy the torkers, but I need to save some cash first. I will keep the ercos for track duty if I can.

Has anyone ever done a e.t. test comparing ercos and "heavy" aluminum wheels?? Will I be able to feel the difference on the street??

Pat, I prefer wide 5 wheels, but do like the list you got there. Sorry, no 4.5s and 6s, way too common. 5.5s at all corners sounds good. Traditional!

True Cal-look ???

I usually dont like spyders on early cars, but that looks good! Since the EMPI versions are prone to cracking, try and locate a set of magnesium American racing wheels like the one Ive got ;)

something like that ??  ;)

That does look good! Sort of a sports car, minilite wheels look. I usually do not like the look of early cars with 4 bolt vw wheels either.

I agree 8 spokes are really under-rated! But I'd rather put them on a 65-up car than an oval.

Keep your Car as it is...The Rest just does Not Look Right..well maybe Torquers....

But the Ercos look Killer!!!

Put T-Bars on it!!! ;) ;D ;D
