Oh, I guess I should ''grease the wheel' here How about this pair of 'deep six' fuch's that I JUST SOLD after lugging them around for .... wait for it .... 12 YEARS!! Although I did make 400% on them

And you never offered them to me? Shame on you... I never new you were a VW/ Samba guy...

Yes. I take payments in single Hoosiers for pilot episodes or in full sets if the show gets picked up by a network.

Doood. I was driving a Transporter when you were just a glint in your fathers eye ... I put an oval/semifore into the Lagoon one dark and stormy night because I was too busy looking for the 'J' I'd dropped on the floor ... But, I digress, as usual ... Yeah, I'm a Samba guy .. but the rest of the stuff I'm selling currently is all pre-A Speedster/Roadster stuff.
The guy who bought those wheels, Greg Banfill, has his business here in Santa Rosa where I live. You probably know him .... here's his website:

Talking about wheel whoerding. I've imported a custom set of magnesium wheels about 10 years ago for my then-stock class supercharged MR2. They would work on a Miata as well. So there's a set of 14" 8lb Watanabe-like magnesium wheels floating around somewhere in Northwest where I ended up selling them.

I have a set of OG Deep 6's with Hearts and matching skinnys that I'm going to send to Al Reeds soon for another VW project. I'll probably go polished and detailed...

Wheels ... wheels .....wheels; can't think what all the fuss is about!









I think there were a few un-recorded 'try-ons' as well!

This seems pretty normal to me. I've done it a few times.

Al's work is top notch, does a lot of the polished Fuch's with black centers you see at shows. We have Harvey Weidman up here in NorCal,
(530) 534-7903
1675 Wyandotte Ave
Oroville, CA 95966
Harvey also does polishing but he specializes in factory anodize and those cool RSR finish wheels you see on the Singer cars .. I REALLY like the look a lot :-) He can take your deep Six wheels and re-rim them to 911R 7" or even go RSR wide ...

Yes .. I remember that 'moment of indecision' during your build .. it's a tough choice isn't it? But 9m has such a great collection just lying around to try on. I remember at one point, they slapped some 3.6 Turbo Speedlines on your car just to roll it into the paint booth .. honestly, the gall of some people ...

FIFY :-) We won't discuss the 997 Sport Seat there to the right ... I think that's another 'problem area' ....

honestly, my priorities must be screwed up. I guess I'm in to beer whording, as long as that includes drinking and restocking frequently.

You know, ya worry that you have cellared it too long, gotta open it to verify...then it's just wasting it if you don't consume.

Damned viscious cycle really

I think beer is a gateway drug/catalyst to wheel whording ...
