Hi,
Just bought a 1967 1300 Beetle with 5/205 pattern.
Want some modern wheels on it - but still keeping suspension travel and turning radius. Will not lower the car that much though.
Saw the BMW inspired Beetle in March Volksworld - this is in line with what I want. I do not want standard Porsche or Beetle wheels like Fuchs, Sprint-stars etc.
So - 6" wide at the most I think. Preferably some rubber also so 16" seems a good compromise.
Going either to redrill drums, or make adapters.
Thoughts and ideas?
