Cool - as long it's gone to a good home, long story: but it was a special wheel as it was originally sold to help pay for the restoration of someones Type 2 after they had passed away. Sorry, don't want to be morbid... I'm sure the new owner loves it. |

Here is mine, work in progress.  Its a '71 1200, I have owned it for a long time. Currently I am building a mild 2110 for it, I will also be fitting a different set of wheels. I am just waiting for some repairs to the paint to be done before I fit up the doors and add the trim. Barring any disasters it will be finished for next year and will make it to European Bug In. |

I like that late model! Once it has an engine and sits just right, it will be very tasty. I like the 2-liter Fuchs, too. Not sure what else would suit the car well. Maybe American Racing 4-spoke GT wheels. Ooh, yes with gold centers. |

Thanks for the compliments, I have a set of Mahle 'baby gasburners' to go on, I still have some polishing work to do before they get detailed.
To be honest I would love a set of genuine Empi 8's but when I was lookiing I couldn't find any. The stories of cracked wheels exploding are quite frightening as well.
My Mahles are nice and light so I am happy to run those especially as I have a lot of parts that need to be bought still so money is a bit tight.
