...... Problem I had with the old Mangels I ran in the '80's and '90's was trying to find some that were true. I went through 7 or so trying to get some that were true, and that was out of the box.
What about starting with some genuine Porsche 356 wheels?

Jim, personally I wouldn't go for chromies. I'd have the flat silver ones, like Bruce said, genuine 356 wheels, or the repros that look more genuine! I'd also lose the bumpers for a while, or go for European ones with the small over-riders, just for a change.

I agree with this idea
