356 Steel wheels

Looking for a set of 356 steel wheels, matching dates not important but would be nice

Ideally dated for '59, but '57 - '58 is fine too. Surface condition not important as long as they are straight. KPZ or Lemmerz preferred.

yup, i have a nice set of (drum brake) chromed, steel wheels which are looking for a new home. they are fitted with tyres which are in good usable condition.
i was keeping them in case i needed them for my 356a but i have had its wheels referbished & painted white and they look great.

don't know how much larry wants for these.

anyone know the going rate?

Depends on whether they are originals or Brazilian copies ...

Do they have any manufacturer's stampings on them - eg KPZ, Lemmertz, etc ?

Yes, would be interested if they are KPZ or Lemmerez. Would it be possible to check - it should be stamped on the inside of the wheel. The manufactured date should also be there, should look something like 06/59 or similar.

Thanks,
Padraig.

my understanding is they are originals but i wouldn't bet money on it so i will check tomorrow.

photograph them and post details.

Thanks for the photos Helen, they look like a fine set of wheels but I'll probably try and locate an original German set first.

Was watching a dated set on ebay that went for $400 in the States but factor in the shipping and it just got too expensive

Speak to Paul at PR Services - I'm sure he'll have a selection to choose from.
