Nice! There are a few guys on the "big meats" thread with the 15's but not the 14's. I have been dying to see these mounted and they look awesome.
How do they ride? _________________ 1964 Kombi- http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=640048

They ride well, they are a little noisy when slowing down to a stop but overall a good setup and ride and has a nice look |

Those look good. I'm a fan of the no hubcap look but never thought about removing the clips. |

You can probably find some kind of rubber plug to stick in the drum's hole. _________________ 1973 Superbeetle: 1st car, owned since age 12. Update thread --> https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9919140#9919140
