Pictures of your after market wheels

If you have after market wheels on your Egg could you please post some pictures. Or what rout have you gone with replacing the white spoke wheels.

I'm surprised not more people change the wheels it really dresses them up, from the white spoke rims that rust so easily. Thanks for the link seems real reasonable. What size come stock on an 1995 Scamp 13 w/o breaks.

I changed my wheels this spring when I replaced my axle.

I'm too cheap to replace my wheels!
I did think my painted rims a bit drab, though.
Ten bucks bought me a pair of aluminum beauty rings at the local junkyard, and two bucks more went for blue valve stem caps.
(The chrome lugnuts were a gift )

This picture was taken in natural light, and doesn't the old girl's bling just shine?

That idea came from installing that same umberella in the receiver of a hitch we added to our Model T Touring (hot-rod).

The Green Been with cheap plastic wheel overs from Can. Tire and after the paint job with beauty rings. I scored them for .50 cents apiece at a yard sale.

Put a "Baby Moon in the center of that rim and you will have that 50's look that i did to so many of my vehicles back then...It was actually the 60's and 70's when i did it.... LOL
