I would just like to gather the interest in a wheel that we have designed and are having made to suit the vw beetle with the right offset and for the forumla vee's. This wheel is the right price and will do wonder for the apearance of you beetle. The wheel is 15x6 to suit most people. other bigger wheels will come later. Plz let me know what you think, due to arrive late Jan.
Oh and the price, $188 each

Alex Holzl ·
Thanks people, there is plenty coming. The ET is 36, We were thinking of doin a 17'' fuchs and some other custom wheels for the busses and the race bugs and we also able to do big bling wheels or some spinners maybe. If ya have any ideas ya would like to share let us know... these wheels will manly be for the formula vee but we also made them to fit the beetle.. Just wait and see the next designs!!!

*did* ·
I would love to see some pics of a set of those on a beetle.
Alex Holzl ·
may have some on there way soon as samples
Special Air Service ·
Very cool, this is what a lot of us have been waiting for.
16's and 17's would be really great. Bolt on YIPEE!!!!!
sax ·
The Campsie crowd does it again!
Should do wonders for the sales of overpriced used empis and new wheels alike.
How long before you can offer us classic whitewalls at the same cost as normal tyres?
Alex Holzl ·
Campsie??? i can sell ya a white texta for cheap
sax ·
Sorry Habib. Sometimes I get confoozed.
Remember when you could get tyres with raised white lettering, the pov's like me used to do our own with white texta.
Must have looked pretty bodge at the time.

Alex Holzl ·

Oasis ·
Hey Al, Hey Al, Hectic:thumb
EgeWorks ·
They are very nice rims. I'm sure you will have no trouble selling boatloads of them! I might have to start saving. Definately need to make them in 16" or 17", it would look very sweet.
Bizarre ·
hmmmmm..... good reaction Alex
Will definitely be talking to ya's :bounce

buzzbug ·

Cheers
Lee.
:P
baybuscamperkid ·

Oasis ·
Thanks ogtool. They look great. I imagine they could become a rare collecters item if they are a small batch.
Alex Holzl ·
Wow cheers OGTOOL! nice job!
ruckus ·

Suzii ·

vw54 ·

Whats the wheel made off ???
What length wheel stud will need ???
speedster356 ·
Have you got a weight for the 15X6?:beer
Alex Holzl ·
the weight of the is 6.125kg and you will be able to use you stock wheel bolts for them and they are made of aluminium alloy, made to international standards
Special Air Service ·
just wish you'd have told me before I did the porsche bolt pattern conversion:cry
Alex Holzl ·
there will be wheels to come in porsche pattern, but bigger wheels
Special Air Service ·
How about you make me a set of 16" or 17" cookie cutters?please please please please pulease:duh
SKEWtYpe3 ·
YOU F#CKING ROCK !!
they are pretty sweet, understaded but new age enough, spot on, my only request would be - wide 5 and 16's/17's and requestable offset/depth etc.....
price should rattle the cage too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait for the other designs !
Alex Holzl ·
cheers people
The cookies would look alrite but the 17'' fuchs would go nice or a 17'' BRM in but done in proper scale...
alex
Special Air Service ·
No I definetly want cookies or I am not interested at all.LOL
seagull ·
is this including GST ?
Freddie Fender ·
Shame they cant go on an older Beetles. They would look great on my Beetle. ah.....Buggah.....keep us posted when there is any new additions!
ruckus ·
geez that weight is going to make them pretty competetive too! Any tests done on structural integrity etc. or is this obvious?
Alex Holzl ·
Yes they are very light for the Formula vees, they are made to an international standard soo they should be right.. id love to test a set on a paddock burner :thumb thats including gst too
ruckus ·
goddammit I HAVE to find an excuse to fit these bad boys to something at that price!
ruckus ·
I'd start taking orders Alex. As soon as the US boys see this you guys are going to be pretty busy :thumb
Alex Holzl ·
lol cant wait till we have more wheels to selll
*Orders for wheels*
Ruckus: 50 sets
LOL
buzzbug ·

Alex Holzl ·

vw54 ·
Alex
Will these new wheels be certified for Australian standards ??
Alex Holzl ·
NO way that was a major mess up last time!! The wheels have been made to the german rta or sumthin standards, and they will be testing the wheels before we get them.
Craig Torrens ·
Alex Holzl wrote:yes the center cap is ready and has the V-FORCE logo on it, and the boxs they come in have V-force and beetleracing on them
