The Official 356Talk Forum

First post in this great new forum format. I know there are folks out there with "out of the ordinary" wheels on their tub. Lets see 'em. BRM's, Campagnolo, Torque Thrusts, Five Spokes, etc...

As a side-note, some may not be familiar with Busselecta in here. No affiliation, just a cool site to get a visual on how your ride would look with different colors, accessories, ride heights and the like.

Mike,
These wheels were on my 356 when I bought it in 1997/1998. Don't really much care for them. I think they are American Eagle but am not positive. I call them wide 5 fake fuchs. I recall them were fairly light in weight as well. I see them every now and again, mostly on VW's as opposed to 356's



I also ran 15" beetle smoothies for a while to give it an earlier look. Even installed porta walls. That lasted a year or so.



I'm back to running KPZ & Lemmerz rims now.

I have a couple friends who were running aftermarket wheels. One ran BRM's on his 1953 coupe, the other I believe ran sprint stars on his 1956 coupe. I'll have to look through my files for pics of those.

Cool.... I remember those wide five fuchs being pretty popular back in the day. Haven't seen them for a while. Keep 'em coming.

Can't remember what these are. Anyone know?

Aren't those American D-spokes or something else? I have a buddy who has similar wheels on his 56 Panel.

Here's pics of Mark R.'s old '56





Kris H's old '53. Now in france.




Sorry for being a picture hog...

You guys have seen this before but here's my A coupe.
Do you know where this picture was taken?

Pebble Beach?

Nice choice of wheels by the way.

Wow Mark! That was fast ...and correct!

Are those stockers with knockoffs on the drums?

Good Eye Mike, I didn't look close enough and thought Dan was running the original style Rudge wheel. Here's a post by Dan from another thread about his wheels.

I have a Road & Track advertisement from 1963 by Vilem B Haan, Inc showing them available for $29.95 for a set of four. Note that there is a "right" and "left" side!

Nutty! Never seen anything like that.

These are our Techo Magnesium wheels.

Stock, not so different but with the unusual offset for the wider drums...

Stock 4.5" wheels widened to 6"



Thanks - Ryan
