Thanks for the pictures Wally !

Some of the rear wheels look massive on some beetles compared to others .. Is this from personal preference or does it have something to do with the classes the cars are running in ?

Love the pictures ! MORE PLEASE !

Sandeep

Wow! Those are some great pics!

I noticed a variety of wheels being used. Is there a general advantage to using a smaller diameter wheel versus a larger, and vice versa? And in a similar vein, does one reach a point when low-profile tires become too "low"? If so, how does one know prior to making a purchase?

(I wish flared fenders (wings) were available in the states. )

Think the wheel selection has more to do with what tyres you could get at the time, 15" rubber was the choice of most motorsport 10 years ago. its only been the last few years that we have gone to bigger and bigger rims.
Main reason i have gone from 15" rims to 17" rims is the tyres that you can get for the 17's is so much greater than 15's.

How about a good source of 17" wheels in 5x130? The typical aftermarket alloy for Porsche pattern these days seems to be 18-36"

I agree that a REAL light-weight wheel in 5x130 like the original Fuchs is not to be found anymore in 17".
At least not if it also has to look not too ricy
The BBS boxster rims I used before were a decent middle ground, but diameter and width make any wheel more heavy of course. That also gives more traction, so it will always stay a compromise untill full carbon wheels get affordable.
