Contact Greg at Vintage Spyders see: www.vintagespyders.com He's in Stanton, CA (in Orange Co.)
If you need a special offset, he can have the wheels cut and re-welded and then powdercoat them to any color you desire although the silver looks the best. He also sells drum skins.
BTW, if you do this project, also get the wheel stud kit and lug nuts, it makes it much easier when you remove or replace your wheels and looks much better than lug bolts.

Thanks! Any idea of price?
No, you'll have to work that out with him
Cbperformance has them, but I don't know if they stock them. Ask if they have them in stock before you order. I agree on the stud kit, but if you do want lugbolts, you can get them from Otis in LA.
Call John @ JPS.
$89 at CB

Vintage Spyders wanted $1400 w/o tires!
I goet a new set of Mangles that I will get power coated silver.
I have 4 bolt 130mm that needs to go to five bolt 205 mm. Has anybody used a 4 bolt to 5 bolt wheel adapter before? They come with 12 mm threads, so I guess using Porsche racing lugs is out, at they are 13 or 14 mm.
I will try JPS. Any other advice is welcome

i tink the adaptors plus drum skins will push out your wheels enought to be a problem.
i just converted from 4 lug to wide 5. easy and cheap - contrary to what others may have said.
1966 or 1967 front and rear drums, pads, cylinders and hardware. stock backing plates. i'm also running a dual circut master clinder with a volvo 240 Turbo brake fluid reservior (mounts directly to the master cylinder).

So Paul, is that a power brake system?
Gerry, don't spend the $1400--I'll do it for $1100 and that includes gift wrapping.
I'm sure that price was over the phone/internet, how could he keep a straight face?

I'm not sure what you mean by power brakeing system (with booster?)
It's a standard non-power hydraulic system. 1967 / 1966 beetles were ball joint with wide 5 bolt patterns.

Too late. I already bought the parts, so if the wheel space and dust covers are too wide, I am hosed
Actually, that price sounds like the wheels that Steve got on his SAW, Coddington aluminums.
