They are original wheels for this car,very rare.13x6,tires are almost new.

Pologround(herman) owns the car,ask him he may sell them.I bet they wont be cheap though since i have not seen any other sets of these around before.

After a long winter and alot of welding,here is my finished product.Its the same car sorta,lol.Or should I say its A NEW CAR!

Hermans silver bullet is shaping up nicely IMO.I used sikkens paint,its a euro paint very expensive but worth it all the way.
