Where can i buy these rims from to suit bay kombi??
hey folks, im interested in getting these exsact rims for my 74 bay kombi, is there a specific combination of rims and hub caps to get??, i really
like the dished look on these ones can you get them for a late bay kombi?? if so what measurements do they come in/sizes etc?? also am wanting the
exsact tyre combination on the rims with the white stripe on them, where can i get the tyres from? do you buy the tyres with the white stripe on them
already or do you have to get insert or something?? if any one could please help me out to what sort of rims and tyres these are that would be great,
or if you know the owner of this kombi?

Have your existing wheels widened by Ajax wheels in Moorabbin 9555 7737 and add whitewall inserts from Antique Tyres. You can buy whitewall tyres from
Antique but the price is out there. Antique Tyres are in Heidelberg.
Paul King owns that bus and would be happy to tell you the sizes. I'll u2u his number.
