We just aquired two, the other two are coming on a car later, one looks broken. Buy they say The Big Wheels on the centre caps and on the backs. Made in California. They are 14x6. We have never seen these before and would like to find out more about them.

The image was to big so you will have to click on the red x

They have a really nice lip on them and I would like to put them on my squareback if I could find another one or two.

What do you want to know about them? They werent a very popular wheel because they have been known to crack easy, they were manufactured in california. They are cool wheels, nice score. You can find ads for them in older Hotvw magazines and vw trends

thats kind of what I was looking for, I have just never seen them at all and was wondering about them. If they are known to crack I guess it wouldn't be good to put them on something that has lots of camber. Caus that would put lots of pressure on them in the wrong direction. Anyway I wil have to look through some of my old vw magazines to see if I can find stuff on them.

Thanks
