That can be nice with a better color, but without center caps.

I think they're killer.  I think I have a pic of one at the swap meet from Bug-In 32.  It's on the other computer, if I get a chance to look for it.

Those are one of the nicest wheels I have ever seen.

Very rare and only come in 6" (although there is someone who narrowed a pair to 4 I believe, I'd have to look for the website)

supercool wheels. I Like Walker wheels as well.

I am not sure if you all know that David Mayes died a month or 2 ago. There is a thread on the samba, but his website is still running, he was a really cool guy who loved his vws, and his website is a goldmine of information.

Si.

Mate, that was mine and a lot of other people reaction it is real sad news, I have been doing deals or cross checking things with David for years. I think more information is on the split bus thread on the samba - leave a message.

I just found out last week, very sad news indeed :'(

I bothered him with many questions when I found my GTV, and badgered him to sell me an EMPI exhaust to no avail! I never met the guy, but he will be missed.
