Here are more pictures, and a little bit more background info on the 14x5, 5x205 "Diamond Racing" wheels that I purchased on 6/10/2021, from Formula Vee racer Sam Ryan, who is based in Pennsylvania. I spent some time on Saturday, June 12th, when I got the wheels back home, to do a few things. First, I had some of those el-cheapo "Taiwan Special" center caps that I had bought a while ago, that I realized did NOT work with stock VW or Porsche 5x205 wheels--I pulled them out again and they DID work with these! Score! Secondly, I got some advice about how to remove stick-on wheel weights nondestructively, using a heat gun and a plastic scraper tool. Final clean-up was done with "Goo-Gone" (adhesive residue cleaning product). Just waiting on some tires now, before I can get to putting them onto my '60 Bug! Thanks again Sam Ryan! |
