Cleaned up one of my essence wheels today only took about an hour to do the one I have a dirty one next to the detailed one next to each other for comparison. Not perfect but perfect for a patina’ed ride. These are my favorite 4 lug wheel unfortunately they only look good in my squareback LOL I tried them on my 67 vert beetle “ NO BUENO” LoL

I wanted those in 4.5 and 5.5. Not sure if I’ll ever pull the trigger.

In case you have ever wondered what four-lug BRMs would look like on a '71 Super with stock suspension and 165r15 tires...

These are EMPI's rendition of the 4-lug BRM, 4.5" width all around. I was worried about the offset (ET 15), but it actually looks about perfect. Both front and rear are just inside the fender lip. I'm using the stock drum brakes. Most disk-brake conversions add considerable offset, so that would cause these to poke beyond the fender.

Beware the evil 13" diameter x 4" wide, 4x130 bolt pattern, KPZ (and/or Lemmerz) steelies... Preliminary research indicates they may have come on early '60s Skodas (EDIT: Or possibly more likely early '60s DKWs--thanks Puppy67 @ TheSamba for the guidance)... I just scored a set from a Samba seller in Switzerland, and am eager to dig into documenting/refinishing/using them... Just have to first make sure & do a quick bolt-up of one to my '70 Bug to make sure that they clear the brakes (they should, since I run stock drums), and also have already ordered a set of extra-lengh lug bolts, since I can forsee possibly wanting to use my 1/4" spacers with these... Anyway, stay tuned, and I'll eventually be starting up a dedicated thread to compile pictures & knowledge learned along the way... Picture is from yesterday (10/14/2022) when they first arrived at my house, after I unpacked them...

I like the tone with the worn out Ruby red.

Crazy wheels.
I can totally see those on an 80s VW that had some custom paint with a Royal Flush on the side.
