In both of Kieth Seume's Handbook's (Performance & The New Custom) their are photos of a couple of European 'Bugs' with three spoke rims: specifically page 61 of The New Custom Handbook. I LOVE THAT LOOK! Does anyone know who manufactured these rims and are they available? Any help would be appreciated. |

Thanks for the info... Not much chance of finding a set of those anywhere I guess? Need to find something else I can live with. To much chrome 8 spoke stuff! Were the Anteras manufactured in Europe? |

Antera is still in business. I looked them up and they are called Antera 109. The wheels are going on 10 years old now so I would look on ebay for them. _________________ GFK
