Love those triple Webbers. The sound of webbers and headers is music to my ears

 

[Jimmi]

With an asking price of $75K it is in the ballpark, assuming a positive PPI result of course!

It looks like a really nice car, but I always struggle with a color change and Japanese wheels (easy change) on a Euro classic. For me it would be much more interesting with the original granatrot color.

Although Japanese wheels, they don't look half bad on there. I see the symbol on the wheels but can't place it, what are those?

i see a 'JWL' on the wheel

yep, originally granatrot - i see the #25 - they sprayed white everywhere - on the door brake and the plug

Here are a couple other photos of the same wheels on a coupe.

I’m a big fan of them!

 

[Nachtycoupe]

They really do fit the coupe well...looks nice with the Nachtblau or is it Baikal, sometimes hard to tell. Are they 14" or 16" typically. Ad didn't say or I missed it. Kind of a short write up.

 

[shigeta]

The ones in the ad look to be 16s.

Epsilon didn’t make a whole lot of 5x120 faces, which makes a set of them quite rare to find, especially in E9 fitment.

Technically, if one finds a set of faces, it’s possible to track down the right barrels to make a good E9 fitment, but the bolt pattern is unique to Epsilon (as far as I know), meaning BBS barrels and lips won’t fit.

If anyone’s searching for these wheels, it’s important to verify the PCD stamping on the wheel mounting surface (AKA back of the wheel face). The GM PCD was much more common for Epsilon Southern Ways wheels in the US, which is 5x4.75”, or 5x120.65mm. They’re commonly mis-measured as 5x120 by the untrained eye, and while they’ll sort of fit, the lugs won’t seat completely into the wheel.
