Personally,
I like BRM's but colour coded stockies look cool too. Are you planning on having it finished for when you get your license? pretty cool first car if you are.
sikdub ·
Hey Dom, welcome to the forum. I personally would have to say the empi 5's. I have a set and reckon they're great. :thumb
Steven
typ-fre ·
thanks its a hard choice beacuse i like them both i wanna try and buy both but we all know a 15 yr old cant afford that
Unity-28 ·
HEy welcome Dom to the world of t3's.
I would go BRM's But not black, the natural finish looks sweet with the outer spokes polished. Or you could go for Radar (sorry about the spelling!) replicas.
N!
typ-fre ·
ohhk what are radar replicas!!
byronbus ·
BRM's :thumb:thumb
Unity-28 ·

typ-fre ·

Adam_C ·
Those Radars look shit hot mate. . . . theyd go well on that notch
typ-fre ·
ey byronbus what veedub have u got??
TheGermanFolks ·
those wheels are made by www.randarwheels.com. They cost about $1000 USD a set. And the fully chromed ones are $1200 USD. Nice wheels. And Randee, the guy who makes them, is the man.
empi ·
Great to seeu here Dom gimme a call and pop around.
hey Chrissie doesnt this car sound familiar???????
Empi
Go the 5 pokies
Unity-28 ·
NO site yet, We NEED to get one up soon.
Maybe as soon as we get some of the cars out there....
Not sure of the cost though! I think in the states they are around 1000 for a set, but dont know how much they would be here.
N!
typ-fre ·

Unity-28 ·

typ-fre ·

SKEWtYpe3 ·
maybe ol's one?
65square ·
Hey Dom, good to see a youngster getting into the type 3s! I'm a BRM man myself, but be warned! Clearance problems on the rear guards & the wheels are pretty pricey!! They almost set me back the price I paid for my square!!
Unity-28 ·
YOu can get 4.5 inch BRM's That will fix any Clearence problem, or you can use short axles.
N!
65square ·
Yeah, I'll be investigating short axles soon! I've rolled the guards, but still only have about 2mm clearance. So short axles it is!
typ-fre ·
type 3's are the best but i really love the notches its a madd cruzing car i just got my mate interested in getting one
i told him that ive gotta volkswagen and u know the teenage mates "they love jap turbo'd car" nothing wrong with them of course my old man has a skyline!! any way my mate was giving me shit about it and i showed him what my cars going to look like when i fix it and now he loves it, hes looking for one at the moment lol
SKEWtYpe3 ·
they are randars not radars
both copied from the same original type wheel but randars are a bit diff. tot eh riggie didge ones........
i think that the short axles u are after a beetle 1200 ones
good luck to ya and ur project.
typ-fre ·
thanks SKEWtYpe3 its gonna be tough but ill make it look good lol im not really sure what the diffrence is between axel sizes soo buhh!! thanks anyway
BenettonVW ·

typ-fre ·

GASBNR ·
welcome Dom,
Thats not my old notch skew, I sold mine to a young lad near Lilydale, minus the sprints and some of the other gear that was on the car.
The sprints where a very tight fit under the rear but 165's was the best we could do.
typ-fre ·
thanks man i feel comfortable now and im rapped coz im the first person to do a t3 yeah!!!
GASBNR ·

I like sprintstars, I reckon they are just the bee's knees. Out of the other two, the BRMs.
Here is a shot of our notch with colour coded original wheels:
twoguns ·
hey welcome typ-fre. so the name has a bit of a double meaning. mate godd to see ya have a cool ride. yours will be all oveer that plastic crap ya mates will be drivin. and it'll appreciate in value. i just picked up a '72 recently. came with a set of ronals which when cleaned up should look good.
baybuscamperkid ·
hey 2guns, u gonna paint in sections on those wheels? then they'd look super sweet!
twoguns ·
dont know yet. waitin' to see what i do with everything else. didi think at on stage af making the cross stand out.
sikdub ·
Generally not a huge fan of much post 70 type 3 gear, but that notch is too cool. Maybe its the wheels, maybe its the stance, maybe its the lot. :thumb
Steven
Black_math ·
If you were willing you could get some iron cross mags custom made and imported from teh states for a low $4000 😀😀 ther worth it
typ-fre ·
