Midland wheels are doing them, I had a photo somewhere but cant find it.
I will get some info and photos next Tuesday for you.
I thought they looked ok
Funnily enough I saw a few splitties in a uk mag with Fuch's
looked awesome

looking through volksworld i found that ssp sells them and also big boys toys sells them , the big boys fuchs are a bit square looking but the ssp ones look almost og to me very nice.

thanks darren

The SSp ones are the MWS versions. They aren't exactly the same as the original Porsche ones but so what? They're not a bad price and you don't have to het involved with redrilling or wheel adapters. If I had a bay I'd probably put a set on.

cbb also do a rear disc conversion for straight axle conversion like twoguns has using 5x112 for around $700,
i might see if glider 69 and myself can bang our heads together and come up with something. irs is just a big job right now nik but worth a thought
thanks darren

Darren.
For the IRS, have a word with Rob King, he swears by using Creatives chassis legs, I have heard really good things about them also the price is right.
Check out their site.

I also think the wheels look the business, look good to me , I wouldnt pick them from originals and also again the price is right, and they are new, no need for polishing and fixing kerb marks.
Cheers

all these "price is right " comments, so what is the price?
I have an ad in volks world that has them (pcd 112) at 130UK pounds. How much would that make them landed in Aus?

if you buy them from classic pacific its the uk advertised price to your door so not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment but a rough estimate would be $320 au each .
thanks darren
when i get them its black and polished for me

hey dave i am going to stick with straight axle conversion i think, its all working and i have a good type 3 box in there so it will stay untill i rebuild the bus again then i will do a irs job on it

57kombi ·

Same here the straight axle is really good, so its staying until I have enough cash to get a wide 5 front disc set up and some wheels and an IRS.

With another kid on the way it might be a while.
I am also thinking Safaris as well.
I can dream.

Cheers
Dave

pic as requested

I have originals on my split and i cant tell the difference, they do look sweet...

if you were worried about the "squareness", buy the painted finish jobs to save a couple of $$, spend that on getting them polished, and that may soften the finish a little, depending on how eager the metal polisher is.

vwtyp2 ·

are they only coming in 15" or are they doing a 17" as well?

if they come in 17", does anyone wanna buy these? Bolt straight onto Bay Kombi.

ClassicVW(pacific) ·

Only 15 inch sorry

Fully Polished are $1599

On the way now, ETA is going to be mid May.
Anyone interested, order now !!!

Cheers
