Melber wheels
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

Possibly from Shankle Automotive Engineering, Inc, a California company now dissolved.
Quite popular wheel with the Alfa Romeo/Fiat community.
