Can someone post a photo on a pre 1966 beetle with BRM 6.5? I want to see how they look.
Thank you so much!!
Ralph. |

What is your suspension setup? It looks as though you are running 205s in the back and lowered 1 outer spline? How about the front? |

Yes, one spline in the rear, with 205's. The front is a 4" narrowed beam with lowered spindles and disc brakes. It actually rides really great. |

Those BRM replicas look great on a VW Bug. I have whittled my choices down to the BRM and the Cip1 Fuch replica. Can anyone comment on the Empi BRM quality?

I wanna know too. What sux is that there not many choices for a wide 5 car.
I have looked at many wheel choices for a while now and can't find any wheel that really makes me think "hey now that's something". So it looks like BRM's are going to be the choice in the mean time.
Regarding FUCH's. When I was 22yo they really were a rim that I wanted. But with an income of $600.00 a month, not feasible. Now I just can't see putting them on my car. Kinda dated. Huh! Like me!

| I have no issues at all with mine. The finish is top notch and they all balanced out well. |

Is that a 205/60? |
