Looks like 4 lug Sprint Stars are popular up there. Counted 3 bugs with them.

I'm a trend setter LOL Got them for my 67 about 5years ago when no one else had them and then suddenly everyone gets them : )
Been debating changing them for gasburners latly though....... blame volksworld for featuring that blue ragtop oval a few months back : )

go for the Gasburners, nice wheel an not many over here with them!

@Kvinyl - I'm curious to see what he actually did to the wheels, surely he couldn't have machined the Porsche wheels, and I'm presuming they are the proper resto cal sizes and offset an not replicas, if he did, he's also destroyed a valuable set of Fuchs! - I'm not imagining this am I? he did mention it to you?

If memory serves he did indeed machine the actual wheel rather than the hub, 'cos I think I went back and asked him again to make sure I heard him correctly the first time! Don't know (and I think I don't want to know) if they are the real deal or not - it's the kind of thing that would have me rocking back and forth in the corner of a room somewhere if they were a nice original set of Fuchs...
