Quite a shame Revolution is out of business - I had two sets of 5.5x13 of their
four-spoke wheels on my Bugeye, special order by the previous owner. Kind of
pricey, but they looked good on the Bugeye, even if they had more the look of
early 1970 wheels than late 50s! They were light enough and easy to clean.
With 185/60 tires on my Bugeye, they only rubbed in the front, and only under
very hard cornering (racing).
