Get the real deal instead of Flat-4/Enkei re-pops : Ansens, Shelby Cal 500 or Chapparals...

There are some sets sometimes, most of the time it will cost less than buying 4 new Enkeis.

These wheels are nice too.

5" or 5.5" are good, but just pay attention to the offset of this kind of wheels : sometimes they have a very important offset and you might have tire-rubbing issues. So ask for the offset and check on your car before buying.  Wink

And if you've ever wanted to run Magnum 500 wheels on your VW...



http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1054314

Not saying these are "cal-look" (whatever that is...) but an interesting alternative. And in 5x130.

Sorry if it has been posted already.

Cookies are the new gasburners Wink

X2! I'm stashing the 6". One here for 25 EU one there for even less... Sofar 10. But i have to admit they are a bitch to polish due to the 100 corners/edges they have. I just don't like the chromed ones as they WILL flake.
BTW, The painted ones are timeless Zach !

Very cool set Wink.
 I bought first a set of cookies to put on my 68 and then change my mind and went the Fuchs way, like so many others.
Always love those wheels.  Smiley

Ugh! That's a picture I took when we got the wheels back from Al Reed the first time. We were not happy with them as they came back very green-ish. Al re did them, and gave them a proper gunmetal finish. They looked much better the second time around.

Any close ups ? I need a colour to match them on my zinc-grey met. bug. And not ugh, they look timeless...

Near the bottom of the page. Sorry, that's the best I've got!


Those 5x130 Cyclones could look great on the right car. Are they steel hoops with aluminium centers? If so, that really opens up the width/backspacing possibilities.
