Any ideas as to wear I could purchase the hubs/bearings to build an axle so I could use these VW wheels?
Thanks
Since I live in the land of beauracracy we overcame that same exact problem.
Also a thought, check with Jim Lindner..in Indiana. because Jim uses the VW Bug Wheels. And the axles are made there locally.
Just a little note though, Jim isnt the quickest in replying. Now wonder how I know.
Also the hubs can be filled and redrilled.. We did that here because the adapters are not legal here. So we have a one piece hub and the inspectors here wouldnt know the difference.

Plus my
Wheels are somthing that isnt found here normally. American Racing Wheels..
Thats the way mine are done. and just as professionally redone as any store bought.

Any shop that does machinist turning can make them.
Next if we have a certain bolt pattern thats not found here this place will make me the entire hubs.
If there is a will there is a way.. So we did.
