Wheels needed
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.

Re: Wheels needed
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.

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

Re: Wheels needed
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.
