my rarest set of 4 wheels are the keel wheels. only set known to exist at the moment. |
Would you believe I obtained those wheels via a swap for a pair of crusty ordinary bosch foglights! I came over to this guy's place (in Melbourne/Australia) as I remember, scrounging under this guy's house(at night) looking for some tinware and there it was in a corner,covered with crap etc..seats,and the flashlight just briefly went over it,my eyes lit-up! Parts changed hands and I got into Empi,sold it to a friend(who then sold it on Ebay)when I got my 5 lug Sprintstars which to this day, I still like more than the Keel wheels. Some of those caps are actually cast in plastic and then chromed as two of them were missing,the lug bolts are also machined specific to the wheels. I'm glad it went to good hands. I'll post some photos with those wheels installed on my last Ghia...when i find them!
Cheers,

These are another verson of Fumagalli stamped '67, I've never seen another set around. A few years back Everett had one wheel he sold on here, I think he just wanted the tire. I have a set of 5 sitting in the garage. |

How about artillery rims off some pre-40 Beetle prototypes

Not really the most rare wheel, but as far as furniture goes, my Rostool is the rarest. Some refer to it as the elusive "South African Sprint Stool".
