The Ansen Wheels are not my choice, think really nice 4 Lug wheels are the Hegglin and Pedrinis, both black/silver

I'm looking for some nice wheels for my 1302 looker project.
I was thinking 'bout 4-bolt fuchs, 4-spoke BRMs replicas ( I wonder If they were popular back then), 5-spoke flat 4 fuchs replicas and heckmesser/cookie cutters.
I'd like best the flat 4 fuchs replicas, even though they're popular.
Here, in Poland where I live the cal-look style is still quite unusual and barely known, so I'd go rather for a classic combination and polished Fuchs ( like these flat 4s) is something that suits best. The 4-bolt fuchs are more affordable, but my 2 mates drive arounnd with a set of these...
I really like the 4-spoke BRMs replicas, but I'm not really sure they suit a superbeetle...
I got lots of ideas like centrerline replicas out from Big boys Toys o these cookie cutters.
Tell me, what do you think?

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum.
I really interested for cal look modifications. But, I don't really know wich is the right way to have a nice looker. In fact, wheels are essentials for the look of a car and it's rather difficult to make a choice.
I have 4*130 Ronal on my 68. Polished and painted. But with really poor paint job  Lips Sealed .
Do you think that is a good choice to have a cal look with the right feeling?

Thanks Speedwell  Wink
I'm really happy to have reach this forum because it's not very easy to find good source.
 I like also riviera wheels but the copy are not as beautiful as the fatlip. There is also Ritter wheels but very common.

Hello all . I'm new here and would like to show what wheels i got on my looker.
They are 5,5 KPZ with 215/70/15 in the rear and 145/15 in front.
I got another complete set of rims in 4,5 " KPZ and are planning to run those in front with 135/15.

I guess that would be a good setup if i drop the front down just an inch moore.






How cool is that, i've only just noticed these wheels earlier on in this thread. I have never seen any lookers with these wheels before.

I've got a set of 4.5 and 5.5 myself that i'm gonna restore by sandblasting, powdercoating and painting. Gonna run 205/70s and 175/65 up front (for some traction) It's nice to see an example already though. You wouldn't happen to have a pic with the new 4.5s in front do you?

by the way those ansens on page 8 look wicked too  Wink long live 67s  Grin

Hi JF,

I realy like the Ronals in black and polished. It's not a very common wheel on Cal Lookers, but they suit your car. To be honest, I like it if people put parts from their own continent/country to their Lookers. If you are from Swizerland for example it would be cool to have a car running on Hegglin wheels and have some Hegglin parts at the engine as well.
So why not? The Ronals a period, that's what counts!
Cheers,

Georg

Well, maybe... I cant see the reg number on your picture but it is the car that was built by Trond Dahl from Norway in the late 80s. But the car has the right wheels, I guess I see 356 brakes so yes this is the same car. Where is this picture taken?
