Martin,

It was nice to meet you at Kelly Park as you were leaving. What wheels, tires and spacer setup are you using on your Beetle?

Thanks,

Richard

Great talking with you too.

The rims are Mangels style rims 5.5 inch wide - not sure the manufacturer but the patina was right. The tires are from Coker Tires - Michelin XZX 165Rx15.
The studs are from Sway-A-Way 14mmx1.5 65mm. The spacers are 20mm wide. You can get those from Sierra Madre. Or manufacture them.

Hope that helps for your racer.

Martin

I was able to head to Germany and take part in the Petermax Muller Rennen with Ray driving.

Take a look at our start from a few different angles.

Fun rally that took us over the country side of Germany.
