Title: What kind of wheels are these..?
Post by: Sander/DVK on September 18, 2008, 21:32:53 pm
Can someone tell me what wheels these are? Are they aftermarket in the 70's?
The only thing I know is that they are 15"

Yep that's it, they do it in several sizes and paterns (13" for golf mk1 etc...). There are several brands that produce this kind of wheels.

I think Panasport built a wheel like that in the 70's

I ran across a set of those "minilite" wheels at a friend's house this afternoon. He bought them for some wacky roadster style bug he's building for his daughter.

I like Minilites because they look good on most cars, but don't look good at all on that 550 replica.

What is the plan for your set sander?
