I am new in the beetle game - really loving it so far. Never seen such beautiful bugs in my life.
Hopefully mine will be there soon.

Virek, those are Porsche Fuchs wheels...Now you can attach a name to your object of desire
eddyr, I'm not too sure about someone in Pretoria, but Hitech mag repairs in Alberton do a stirling job at a good price
Hope that you come right!

Don't even consider Hi Tech mag repairs they are expensive, full of shit, and quality is not their forte, go somewhere else.

Hey Eddie
I also have a set of fuchs i need to have revamped and the lip polished, spoke to my tyre guy and he says he has got an oke in pta that can do it maybe if we take him 2 sets he can do us a better deal ?? Also and this is a bit of a highjack i want o run 195/50/15 front and 205/50/15 rear but the tyre patern on the sizes are different even though they are the same brand of tyre , what do you guys think wil it make any difference ? the wheels are going on a turbo'd type 2 bus so safety is an issue !!

Once your wheels are polished, how are you going to keep them polished. What product do you guys recommend?

My mate bought some Wool yes you read right WOOL in a tin for his fuchs we also thought the sales man were mad
Got home and started polishing
Whow
You break a piece of the wool type of stuff off and start on one spot and after a bit of Elbow ghries the high shine comes throught
Will get the name from him also dont think it was cheap but boy they work
