Wheels needed

Post by slash2nut »

New member here. I just picked up a 1969 2000. I need to find 4 rims for this car. The previous owner put on oversize rims (ugly ones to boot). The are way to big. I would like a stock set or some panasports. Thanks.

OK, you can't just call them ugly, you have to document. So, you know what that means.......wait for it.......

To paraphrase the obscure '80s band, Fishbone:

U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, your (wheels are) just ugly

I have a set of stock steelies I'd basically give you for shipping cost but you should be able to get a set closer to home. Let me know.

Actually they are pretty cool on a new bug... Ronal also makes sunflowers and I think that they used to make peace signs...

Ask and you shall receive. Behold the wheels I find ugly:

They are oversized as you can see here:

They will be for sale once I find some stock wheels or after markets I can handle.

Hey Dave.

I will see what I can figure out for shipping tomorrow. (playing hookie tomorrow to work more on hanging a body tub from the rafters in my garage over winter.)

They might look better without the knockoffs and just a regular center cap.
