You can purchase them in this right red finish, which is what I did (I think white and silver are also choices). Tires are 195/60R15 Goodich's. I had some chrome center bullets on my shelf, and also some chromed plastic lug bolt head covers. Not quite visible are some chrome bullet valve caps also.

I had bought a set of those inexpensive repro 5.5" wide 5-bolt smoothie wheels from CIP-1 last year, but have NOT had good luck with the hub cap clips they came with... Old-style Volkswagen wheel hub cap clips kits (http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm…) came in from WW yesterday. They look decent and pretty much "factory style." I ordered 5 kits, and just opened up one of them here to look at. One of the clips is slightly "squished" relative to the others (red arrows), not cool, since I'm gonna want to reshape it slightly (maybe use some propane torch heat?)... In addition to the clips being the nice "tall" style, they also have that nice little crease at the tip end (green arrows) that should make them work with hub caps as they should... So, the plan now is to wire brush the wheels locally where the clips mate up, buck the rivets, and then bring the fully-clipped wheels over to my local powdercoater for stripping & re-coating.

Sold the Creeky Bug, but kept the set of knobbies that I put together for it a short time ago. These are the China-repro "Pre-A" wheels, 16"x3.25", and the tires are some super-knobby "Deka" brand tires that Coker sells, that require tubes. I forget the size designation right now--will try to come back and note it. And four-to-five adapters too, of course, No rubbing, but I still think I may put some KYB gas-charged shocks on the back, just to correct that tiny bit of rear end sag. Anyway, fun stuff!

I delivered the car to the new owner's home, a few towns away in Connecticut, on Sunday morning, October 20th, 2019. It had become clear that it was time to pass the car along to another enthusiast, who may have some vision for it and energy to pursue that vision. End of the story for now, but we are friends with the new owner, and will be eager to see what develops in the future. It was a fun nine or so years! Onward and upward!

I've had very satisfying Samba transactions with Richie from Riche's Garage in New Jersey over the years, but this was my first time meeting him in person! A real pleasure! Richie is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable. This photo was taken last week at the big AACA meet at Hershey, PA (October 9-12, 2019), at Richie's flea market space. That's Samba member "moogie32" in the nice posed photo with Richie. Thanks again for everything, Richie, and looking forward to doing more business with you again in the future!

The '03 LeSabre that my daughter drives had to go into the shop unexpectedly--thankfully Sarah knows how to drive manual, so she was able to jump into my Subaru, to get to all her jobs. That means that Creeky Bug once again becomes *my* go-to! I was out and about to New Haven and back with it yesterday (7/5/2019), and then a gas-up stop at the Branford (CT) Leetes Island Road Mobil station by the highway. Out and about getting some stuff done today as well. Running good! Happy Saturday...

I bought some of those China-repro 15x5.5 smoothies from one of the "hot" California parts houses, that came finished in a nice gloss white, and with hub cap clips already in place. I had my local garage mount & balance the set of 195/60R15 BFGs that I had been running on my other car, and finally put them all on Doug the '60 Bug this past Saturday, 6/22/2019. The clips were NOT happy accepting hub caps, and even though I spent some time tweaking all of the clips, I still lost a hub cap driving to a cruise night on Sunday 6/23 in Derby, CT (where I had a nice photo-op with a '66 Bus from New Haven). I kinda like the "Herbie" look that the fat wheels & RWL tires give the car.

Drove in to New Haven to mail some stuff at the main post office that’s located right near the big New Haven (CT) IKEA store (IKEA’s campus incorporates the historic old Armstrong Rubber building, that is considered an architectural treasure of New Haven—although it does not appear that IKEA is actually doing anything with it—other than hanging big “sale” banners on it that are visible from the highway--even though they’ve had to have been there now at least 10 or 15 years).

The first attempted fitment of the red China-repro 16" Pre-A wheels and knobbies was Friday, May 10th, 2019; tried them on the Creeky '69 Bug first, since theywent well with his gnarly character. Used 4-to-5 bolt adapters at all four corners, and 3/8" spacers at the front, to clear the disk brake calipers (the car has Karmann Ghia disk brakes in front fitted). These pictures are from that first-bolt-on, with the car outdoors in the driveway.

I had some goodie bag items to donate for a couple of his shows (some imprinted items for my hobby project Shoreline Antique Auto Connection), and so we met up at a local restaurant where a car & bike show were going on.

These I bought and then sent straight to the powdercoaters (Shoreline Coatings LLC, in North Branford, my go--to guys) for some basic gloss red. Going to have some fun with tires and center caps options, and may eventually install some hub cap clips, but not for now...

I have enjoyed having the Creeky Bug outside in the driveway, ready for me to drive at a moment's notice, thru this winter of 2018-2019, and for the most part it has been possible (either on very dry roads or after some good rains to wash salt away). Come March, now, however, we have been getting some substantial snow in Southern Connecticut. Hopefully we start the swing into Spring very soon now. Clocks springing forward this coming weekend will also be a nice psychological boost, with more usable sunlight in the afternoon...

Here are a couple of recent pictures of the Creeky '69 Bug. Dealt with a few brake problems this summer, but otherwise, still running well. Currently running some 15x6 "MiM" (Italian) alloy wheels (4x130 bolt pattern, no adapters; I bought 'em used from a Samba seller), refinished gloss black, and 195/60R15 radials...

Unusual 15" diameter, 6" wide, 4x130 alloys that I purchased recently from a Samba seller--manufactured, it appears, by "MiM" in Italy... Just picked them up yesterday from my favorite powdercoaters (Shoreline Coatings LLC in North Branford, CT: http://shorelinepowdercoating.com/), stripped and refinished in a beautiful gloss black... Now time to start thinking about tires...
