Hi Guys

I wasn't sure where to post this question so I posted it here :)

Has anybody any information on Melber wheels for a Type 1 beetle? eg: were they well made etc.

They look similar to Ronal R2.

Regards
Greg

Thanks mate,

I had already Googled Melbers and had a look at this site but I am wanting more background on the company and whether they were ever on cars in Australia etc.

Thanks for your post.

Best regards
Greg

it is actually the first time that I have heard of that wheel, good luck with your search.

Possibly from Shankle Automotive Engineering, Inc, a California company now dissolved.

Quite popular wheel with the Alfa Romeo/Fiat community.

I've see a set or 2 but have been 14s so not so much desirable...
