wheels for 56 Speedster

[Mark Todorovich]

I am trying to piece together a set of date correct wheels. Through a couple of vendors I can find four Sudrads. I am only familiar with Lamerz and KPG. Were all three coming out of the factory back in the day.

Mark, Lemmertz were an option here is a picture of one.

Porsche contracted with three wheel suppliers, KPZ (Kronprinz), Lemmerz, and Sudrad.
All three made 16" wheels, and Sudrad was still suppling up until around 57, but not that many, they are pretty rare in 15". I know, it takes me years to build sets of Sudrads.
Lemmerz tend to be the most popular with people, but I suspect it's because of the fancy logo.
KPZ was used for all the exotic stuff like Rudge, Steel/Alloy Carrera wheels.

KPZ and Lemmerz are about the same in terms of quantity of what I find, so it's probably a good reflection of what went on the cars in the same quantities.
