i too am looking for rims, every night for the past week the hubby and i look on the internet and he'll show me rims on the samba or eBay or some independent place and we'll go through about 10 rounds of "do you like these?" "nope" until last night when i saw some pedrini's and instantly fell in love. what can anyone tell me about these?? janina '71 squareback daly city, CA orntar@orntar.net wrote:i have been looking into getting some wheels for my car for some time now, and i just saw that american eagle is now making empi chrome wheels for 179.99 ea. the polished is still about 99.99 and brm replicas can be bought for 129.99. i have always liked the empi's but every body has em (relatively speaking, of course). i like the brm's too, but i don't like the black, i saw silver/grey for five lug, but not four lug. i remeber our last discussion of empi polished finishes, it was mentioned that the repro polished empi's duleed because a claer coat is not applied to them at manufacturing. how do others like their polished wheels? any (undue) dulling? i think chrome would be pretty sweet. so for the money and looks which ones do my fellow type 3er's prefer? nathan http://www.orntar.net/project/vwt3.html 1970 fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
