13inch white smith wheels to swop for 15" beetle

Post by triton »

Good day all

I bought a Formula Vee (Aircooled :) ). And it has white 13" smith rims on it. I would like to swop out with a set of 14" - 15" beetle rims even rostyles will do and size.

To get the little car back to how it was in the 70's.

Did you buy that one in Ermelo I told you about? I have a pic of it somewhere, but can't find it now..

This one was at the Air Cooled Day in Silverton three years ago, it was last raced in 1990

Boy- that looks neat.

I hope to get this one up to scratch again. Lots of work. Motor runs like a bat out of hell, I have never seen a 1300 rev like this little motor. Needs new clutch master/ slave. The chap who raced it sure like the arc welder :-)

It's the one from Ermelo - yes.

Looks nice, glad it went to a good home! :hangloose: Interesting to see that it has balljoint front suspension? Give Werner Alke in Pretoria a call at (012) 654 8272, he used to race Vees as well, and still has a lot of info and pics that will interest you :wink:
