Anyone have any experience with the Vintage lightweight alum stock style wheels?
I have not had an opportunity to see them in person and was wondering if anyone had first hand experience.

A couple of guys on speederowners.com bought a set and they look to be very happy with them.
I'd love to buy a set for my VW Thing. |

I wonder what the chances of a 4 lug version are... I'd love a set in +45 offset for my Square.

| The chances are very slight, as they're made for the Porsche replica crowd, who use (mostly) a wide 5 or Porsche 5 bolt wheel pattern. |

Switch to wide 5 bolt pattern! I would if I had the money/ambition. Wide 5 is iconic on a VW/Porsche/early Ford.

But I like front discs! Given the luxury, I'd do all four as discs. My budget doesn't extend that far.
