Non stock wheel American Eagle

#61 Post by Daryl Bruhl »

These are new American Eagle VW wheels. You will need to get stud holes enlarge a 2 or 3 mm and they are ready to roll.
Enjoy

The other 15 X 5 1/2 wheel from late 944s and 911s.
They have the same offset and weigh 3 pounds more per wheel (still light, though) than the "round hole" 15" spare wheels, pictured earlier in this thread on a couple of cars, including my Ruby Red 356C Coupe.

Hi Steve-
Great to hear from you! The posters actually have a funny story behind them. The girl on the Snap on poster is the same girl as on the Suzuki motorcycle poster. I first met her in Dallas at the 1992 NADA convention. I kept going through the line to get signed posters for everyone I knew and she quickly caught on. She asked if I was going to follow her to bike week in Daytona Beech to get a few more posters since she was Miss Suzuki that year. As it happens, I was going to bike week so I told her I would see what I could do. After arriving in Daytona, my best friend, his brother and his Dad all went to the track and I told them I had to stop and see Miss Suzuki. Michelle was signing autographs and when I got near the table, she screamed and said, "Christian, I can't believe you made it!" Needless to say I still hear about it from my best friends family as they are Suzuki dealers and never got that type of treatment! She asked if I would follow her to Brazil next but you have to draw the line somewhere and I settled for a great lunch instead.

When my 6 and 9 year old daughters asked why I have girls on the wall in the garage, the girls made their way to the recycle bin. I would much rather have my daughters hanging out with me in the garage instead. Hopefully my lengthy reply doesn't relinquish this post to off topic. See you in August,
Christian
