VW Volkswagen ORIGINAL BRM Empi Wheels
vwtyp2 - January 27th, 2005 at 05:16 PM

That's RIGHT Original matching set of the famous and very, very rare BRM's. I bought these from the original owner who bought them in a set back in the 1960's. If you want the real deal for that custom Cal Looker don't miss out on this. Out of a "10" these are an "8". They have some minor bumps and dings which can easily be polished out. They hold air without any tubes. They measure 15" x 5". I had these on my 1966 which was featured in HOT VW Magazine, drove on the street with them, and raced half a season. The reason I took them off my car is because they are so rare and I just didn't want anything to happen to them. If you are a VW accessory collector, these would be awesome for your collection. They come with flat four center caps. If you have any questions, please e-mail me before bidding. Buyer to pay shipping and insurance. Shipping depends on your location. I would rather them be picked up in person, but I will work out shipping. I live one hour west of Washington, D.C. 20115.

Why would you spend so much on these wheels when repo's would cost about $1500.
You would only buy these so you could say you were stupid enough to have too much money.
If you bought them you would be too scared to put them on a car incase you damaged them or they got pinched.
Also as they are about 40 years old you dont know what internal damage they have recieved, could be cracked inside etc.
