Where can I get some wide 5 ERCO wheels?
Hey all! I'm entertaining the idea of sorting some ERCO's for my notch. Hoping someone on here knows where to get them, who distributes them, or
even if someone has a used set for sale.:o
Cheers!! |

Very hard to get for any money.
The guy who has them made (Eric Ballard) doesn't seem to want to make sales.
But word is that someone else in the states has purchased the rights to have them made.
Keep your ears and eyes on the callook forum for up dates.

Thanks Dave. So Flat 4 don't make them? Empi (on these forums) said they did, but it didn't seem quite right to me, since flat 4 do mainly resto-cal
stuff, and these are drag wheels. |

Erco wheels
I think centrelines wheels would make a better option .Look just as cool and very old skool in looks.You can buy them from most large stores. Rod
Richardson 61 bug has ( 0 off set )them on the front ,which move the wheel under the car for gaurd clearance. Will post measurements up.

I'd only be running them for style, so centrelines wouldn't do, because I really like the way the drum shows through on the Erco's.
Empi - That's not flat4 selling them on samba, what do you mean? you've lost me there. Wow they are expensive in the UK! Thanks for the leads anyway
mate.

When u have large collections of wheels you tend to hear what is for sale , Mr Komori of Flat 4 had a set for sale they were gold in colour.
cheers
