i'd take them to Replicars and see if johan is willing to sort out mould if they look good. Let him reproduce them for his speedsters, and cut yourself a deal for some spare parts with him. Business is Business after all!!

Wessel, can you perhaps take a closeup pic of those hubcaps some time? I've got a set of 16 inch Fuchs, that I might be swopping for 15's. Might be worth it to have a mould made of it?

Sorry, I missed some of the posts - therfore the delayed answers.

The came solid with the "holes" just indented - you have to carefully cut them out yourself.

Pine, I'm just curious.

What are those Fuchs rims going for nowadays ($$$) and why are you changing to 15's ?

The prices for Fuchs are simply MAD - anything from R 8000 upwards. There is a guy at a Porsche workshop in Jet Park that has a set of polished 15 inchers that he wants R 30 000 for! I got mine with this car, and the complete price was a bit steep, but I can justify it with the other parts the car has on.

The Fuchs are destined for my Bay, but the 16 inch (6J front and 7J rear) are simply too big for it. Might have closed a deal to swop them for 15 inch Fuchs, but nothing confirmed as for now. Fingers still crossed!

This is the look I'm after, as simple as possible - my Bus is coincidently the same colour. Those on the pic are 15 inch:

Eish ......... R30 000 - unbelievable. I unfortunately have got other money drainers that need attention more than fancy rims for the Speedster.

But the Bay really looks stunning with them on - drool .. drool.

Well I'm off to catch up on some zzzzzzzz's. See ya tomorrow.

Thanx for the chat.
