hard to choose 4 stud wheels hey! is your oval on a 4 stud pan as well? I think the porsche 2 litres look good.. polished or painted. I was thinking of putting on some of them or some widened stockies, painted black with chrome trim rings. even just widened stockies with moon caps look good.

my widened stockies


But I'm still looking for something a bit different.

I suppose it will have to be in a porsche or ford stud pattern (thanks VWCOOL :thumb )

I had widened 15-inch four-studs with flat hubcaps on my Oval for 15 years until I did the Falcon swap (with big brakes) last months. I reckon it looks good

NO

VWFOOL ·

Man that looks sweet! Are those hubcaps made to fit on later four stud wheels for the early look?

I was thinking about running std four stud hubcaps with wolfsburg or porsche crest emblems.

Yeah ,you can get baby moon flat and baby moon round in 4 stud.😉

but thats defintly not the look im after, tryong to find a more classic look while keeping it 4 stud.
so what sort of wheels do you have in mind ???? any pics

VWFOOL ·

well my question was kinda answered by those pics, 4 stud stockers can look good with those moon round caps, i was thinking the only other way was to go porsche pattern. thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
