Update, for the Spridget crowd, we will introducing the VTO Classic 8 in the 14x5.5 for the Spridget, we had in the Retro 4 design in that size and bolt pattern for a few years now, and are expanding it to the Classic 8 line, it will probably another 3 months or so before they are in the warehouse, but it is coming.

What is the offset on that wheel? Same as the retro four? +22
I'm doing some body work on a project car and I could use my bugeye wheel/tire to check fitment if they are going to be the same.

Hap suggested a 14 x 6 to fit a BE. The Classic 8 are available in Silver w a Polished Rim. That's what Bugsy is getting. A discussion Team on 14 x 5.5 vs 14 x 6 for a BE is in order. And any sticky tire recommendations. Not something with a 400+ UTQ Rating but not a $200+ a tire < 200 UTQ Rating. Something in between that will fit with a 14 x 5.5 or a 6" wheel. Trevor are you running a 5.5" Tire on Ugly Bug?

Oh never mind. This is an old VTO sale add from 2013. I was getting excited here.

I don't mind the finish on the JBW's (although I really liked the gunmetal centers on the Rota RB's) but the 185/60 R14's probably wont fit under the SWA on my '65. I'd have to run a something like a 155/70 R14 and there arent many tire options in that size
