|
|
If you have been following our other Wide 5 Smoothie Project on the samba found here => http://airkewld.co/rhvwvL , we had a ton of interest for 4x130mm applications. It was only a matter of time before we came out with it.
Here are some photos of the design and completed project.
They are 17x7's available in 2 back spaces, 5.250" and 4.625" and they accept the Wide 5 hubcaps. At this time they only come in raw form.
What do you think? _________________ Airkewld Customer Service

I fitted mine with porsche 5x130's in a 17x7 and couldnt be happier. It made my rpm's lower at crusing speeds. I really have a car I can drive on the interstate now.
If I hadn't already went with the porsche wheels. The stock smoothies in 17's would be my next pick.
I had all 4 tires delivered from tirerack to my door for $330.00 including freight. _________________ I need a 5x130 spare. PM if you have one at a reasonable price. |

| IMO, I just don't like the way 17's look on a Bug. They just aren't my style. However, I would rock the smoothies in 15" or 16" |

| Is there a reason behind not doing a 5x112? I've got a '71 bay and think 17" smoothies would look sick. Not being a smart ass, just wondering if it's a problem because of the disks. |

Liability is one reason, but more so because the 5x130mm would come into play next. We are not going to make them in either pattern for liability reasons. _________________ Airkewld Customer Service
