Hey Mike,Lemmertz GT wheel
I was really excited when I saw this post last year. I've been scouring for Lemmertz GT wheels for some time now. Not on eBay, not on Craigslist, nowhere to be found. Is Mid America ever going to get these wheels? They aren't on the new website. I'm dying to buy them!!

I just bought a 1972 Baja SE Super Beetle & I have been looking for one rim to use as my spare & I just haven't been able to locate one so this is very good news indeed. Can you buy just one rim? That would be really great. I plan on doing a restoration & the car is completely intact except that it's missing the spare. When will these rims become available to buy? I have located & purchased many NOS German parts to restore this car with but I just can't seem to find that German rim! That's a bummer but because I will be using it for a spare I guess it won't matter much because it will look far better than a stock rim should I ever have a flat. Very good news for sure.

For Mike Yager:
I'm restoring a '73 Superbeetle Sports Bug, Body of the Chassis, Almost complete after 3 years of work in progress, my Rim are too pitted and corroded to be safe for the road.
I just stumbled on your Posting indicating that MidAmerica will soon be making re-production Lemmertz GT Wheels in 5.5" - WOW!!
I desperately need a set.
Looking forward to your reply.
Todd Burke.
