I have a set of Rocket Racing Wheels on my 76 Beetle and haven't been able to find out anything about them. Anyone here have an info on them for me. You can see a pic of them on the car in my album.

Here's mine, similar in appearance, 14" size, only they're 14" Western turbine wheels, mounted with Hankook HR714 195/70-14r radials.

Mine are 13". I have been thinking that when it comes time to get new tires that I might try to score some stock wheels and hubcaps and go that way on Lil Red.

13's, jeez, speedo probably shows you're going faster than you actually are, that is, unless your tires are stock height. Still, it'd be a pretty tall tire for 13's.
