I Finally Own A Set Of These ICONIC WHEELS!

[@gradycooper475]

I like the deep lip best. Being old, when I see the zero lip it reminds me too much of hub caps. I'm sure it will look great whatever you decide.

[@DeanofMachines]

The chop top deserves a deep lip. Especially with a classic motorsport wheel like BBS. Someone else commented about 0 lip looking like hub caps and it is 100% accurate. Truth be told, the 5 spoke epsilons look absolutely perfect. I get wanting to change it up though.

[@jeremyulmer4724]

Leave it alone! It looks good as is.

[@zeitgeist57]

Gold BBS on the 2-Dr, Episilons on the 4-Dr. Keep up the great work.

[@garrettbright6586]

Agreed.

[@davidmiller9267]

Really dig the idea of suicide rear doors on the 4 door Corvair. BTW, my 1st car was a ‘66 2 door Monza automatic I bought from my dad in ‘74 for 150 bucks. Still had the “Hey Culligan Man” decals on both doors and leaked oil by the gallon! Still wish I had that car today.

[@ArchangelJuicy]

Yes Suicide doors. Never crossed my mind

[@legovaro]

I'd love to see one of your Corvairs back with the Cragars, I really loved that look when I found your IG back then, but those E50 on deep dish on the chop top could look killer 🌝

[@brettdorow3796]

BBS on the 2 door, Epsilon on the 4. Can’t wait !

[@nujayfabrication8089]

The gf is right that car looks perfect with the epsilons but excited to see the mesh wheels on there (I'm a spoke wheel kinda guy) also loving the idea of the 4 door corvair on air with those wheels and suicide doors .

[@dHPvinny13]

Porsche Fuchs on everything.

[@Fogles_Hot_Rods]

Killer setup! leave them exactly how they are. That aggressive look makes it for me.

[@AndersVestlund]

Wow, what a find. E50 is just pure awesome. I am in love with the old BBS and my dream set is the E30 which is no where to be found around here. The hunt goes on.. Happy for you and the find!

[@kumakendo]

That zero lip thing looks atrocious don’t do that to those sweet vintage wheels

[@grumpyjay215]

Have you tried the ATF in the cylinders of the white Corvair yet.???

[@kaydesign]

Always Deep dish and polished like new. The contrast between shiny rims on a patina build is gold ⚡️🏆🛠

[@johnwhitehurst474]

Man Put a hot patch on the inside after your plug the hole, of course razoring off the excess inside, before applying patch!

[@therealsmileyspeed]

My Dad was prez of the Baystate Corvair Club for a number of years back in the late 90s- early 2000s, I still have my club name pin, I grew up around them. Nice to see a younger guy like me into them, as back then it was mostly older folks. I'd still love to do a Subaru H6 swap into a late coupe, but found myself a little '69 Toyota Corona 2dr Hardtop to play with 1st. I love the patina/survivor look, thats what I'm going for with the 'rona. The BBSs are so sick, my guy! I redid my split 4 spoke American Racing 14s, but I'm thinking larger and tucked with bags. Bummer for me (good for you), I just moved back to Mass lol, would have loved to see you around the show circuit here. Keep it up!

[@LOWBIMMER323i]

Fun to be able to switch things up! Both wheels will look great! Fun stuff!

[@BernsteinOmega]

Those Epsilon wheels make my heart skip a beat! I wanted a set for my brother's G-body project for the longest time. Respect

[@shawnknudson4201]

I really like it with the Epsilon wheels. The 5 spoke is amazing. Don’t need to fix when nothing’s broken.

[@piasprojects]

BBS on the 2-door, with a mild lip. And then swap the epsilons to the white. The door swap would be pretty cool!

[@GrafsGarage3]

Seeing the soccer kids check out your ride is cool! I supported my Alma Mater and let the middle school soccer team washed my Notch 😂 Wheel collecting is addictive 😅 im at 6 sets in 4x130 I like the Mesh!

[@michael987s2]

E50s for sure on the chop top. IMHO though keep the barrels or do deeper lips. not a fan of the no lip. vintage wheels deserve more lip not less haha! keep it up dude and cant wait for the 4door madness!

[@differentgroove1]

I'm glade you are holding on to the Epsilons " rare " I love old school jdm and euro style wheels deep dish down !!! The Corvair is a killer !!!

[@tonorosario8588]

Shine the silver parts, and leave them the original color. A wider lip on the rear ones would look good.

[@davidadams007]

the Corvair is amazing. I am a fan of the BBS wheels just like they are. the current rims are beautiful but the patina of the BBS rims will be magic on the corvair with all the patina. The Epsilons will be nice on the white car.

[@dunkies7482]

You used the song! Super dope man. The slide guitar adds some nice atmosphere.

[@jessemorgan3409]

Seeing your fast back next to the Audi reminded me a saw on FB some where a guy body swapped square back onto an early 2000s golf/gti. You should keep that in mind.

[@dommoss4264]

I think you’ve got great taste in cars and that ice cream looked perfect

[@BaronVonSkittle]

I think you should put the E50's on the crew cab Corvair. Although I agree with the zero lip sentiment in the comments, it'd actually be a nice change to see deep dish E50's for a change (although I may have just seen too many being a VW guy).

[@enfamy_OG]

Love the clip with the kids checking out the car. That makes it all worthwhile. People checking out your ride is dopamine for a car guy 😂

[@stephenbennett3330]

Deep dish BBS 2 door, Epsilons on 4 door, thumbs up.

[@jkeayc5749]

E50s belong on the 4 door. Gold wheels with blue interior is classic look. My 3 cents 😎.

[@dlux703]

The BBS basket-weave centers DO almost perfectly match the gold tint of the lower body patina on the Monza, so I'm voting for them. Can always go back if you get an offer you can't refuse for the BBS s. I agree about using the Epsilons on the 4door, and also don't find the zero-lip style attractive AT ALL. Besides, who wants 5" thick spacers, and too much strain on your wheel bearings?

[@tomcrocombe6907]

E50's on the 4 door... leave the Epsilons on the chop top!

[@jkeayc5749]

Gold wheels with blue interior is money $$$ FTW

[@vwjunkie11]

Those new mesh joints will look so good on the two door but like you said, more lip>zero lip. Epsilons go hard but after 10 years it’s time for some new shoes

[@jamesk3565]

I think the mesh looks good. With deep lip

[@65CorsaRS]

I love the look! I had loved those since I started seeing IMSA GT racing with 934’s/935’s and BMW 3.5 CSL’s racing along with the Dekon Monza’s!

[@65CorsaRS]

I have two 1965 Corvair Corsa’s and I had Enkei 70’s that were identical to the BBS wheels you’re showing!

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍 5-spokes on the 2-door conversion 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dcallan812]

Nice wheels, I had a set years back probably 1988ish. 2x👍

[@misterquintus]

I'm not really a fan of zero lip on the E50s, I prefere them w/ a 1 inch lip so that the centre is flush. As for the 4 door, given that one of my dream cars is a Rover P5B coupe with a suicide door conversion, I am very exited.

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Beautiful wheels. Definitely keep them deep dish if you can. 😎👍🛠

[@deadroutines]

To answer the question about the wheels, it's hard to visualize the bbs wheels in tires on the corvair. I like deep dish look all around though.

[@pacificaguitars]

Love the channel. Been binge-watching.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you!

[@charliemarcus2740]

Deep Lip!!! Killer set of wheels.

[@RumRaspberryMocha]

You should paint the center of the epsilons gold or copper 🔥🔥🔥

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

The zero lip thing is just not cool. It's different, but seems to be only for the sake of being different. Deep lips on classic cars is a must!

[@serenitynomore]

Great music and edits.

[@blechpiraten7093]

Vielen vielen Dank John, für deine tollen KZbin Videos. Die alten Japan Alufelgen fand ich persönlich deutlich schöner. Die BBS sind wirklich sehr schön, aber die Japan Alufelgen finde passender auf deinem Auto. Suche den passenden Porsche für die BBS Alufelgen. 😊😊 Die BBS finde ich im restaurierten Original Zustand am schönsten. Ganz liebe Grüße aus Dinkelsbühl Patrick

[@h12st_d63]

E50's on the 4 door for sure 🫶🏻

[@Meccanico208]

Honestly I think the Cragar S/S wheel look best of the Corvair. The BBS mesh with zero lip would look amazing on the BMW 700.

[@AB1-nb4di]

Gold E50's with a deep lip would look better on the white 4 door, Coupe is nice as is.

[@andrewblackmon7325]

Keep the epsilons on it.

[@stoveguy2133]

We put a 327 in rear of 66 vair. Used crown kit. Was SO bleeping easy. Was a rocket.

[@brndn666]

Not a huge fan of the bbs wheels but I think the zero lip rebuild would look proper on the corvair

[@corystanley1]

Deep lip E50's on the chop top. Epsilons on the 4 door.

[@chunkdaddy4733]

I’d put those wheels on just the way they are. Worn centers and lips looks right at home with the patina.

[@cordellrice2563]

The E50s just hit different… I have e78s now…but e50”s are my dream wheels..

[@outridingBMXPortugal]

deep dish for the win! you have to be careful with those wheels, magnesium becomes brittle with age and they can break...

[@rafaelrivera9508]

Don't change the wheels... sorry but the bbs wheels would look better on the white car.. great video

[@lj6278]

Keep the deep lip, PLEASE! OH Man, Suicide the four-door ~ I can't wait. 🤗

[@davidcodevelle4011]

Good job,Nice wheels

[@waterlover]

Deep dish is a must

[@leighharron]

They look great as they are

[@lfa68]

I kinda like the five spoke wheels. Personally I’d try to find some vintage American five spokes, though. (Cargar SS or similar.) If they’re available in the correct size/offset, that is… The BBS wheels are better suited for older Euro cars in my mind. I love how they look on a E21 or E23, for example. (Damn, I miss my old ‘79 E21 that I had in the early 90’s! If I had had the money it would have had BBS wheels. Instead I had some cheap Alpina style 15’s.)

[@davidsanders6933]

Beautiful Corvair

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you!

[@devonstrickland5640]

Personally, I would leave the E50’s as is! they look amazing and being in original configuration/condition suits the vair’s style so well.

[@heidenfelderkustoms1502]

I like the wheels. They match the car. Deep lip.

[@kraignadjkovic5494]

Those wheels will look great on the Monza, but not zero lip.

[@PitterPatter42]

PLEASE don't zero lip those gorgeous wheels!

[@peterwilson3454]

could you please let me know who makes the long toggle switches thankyou love your car well done

[@JohnLudwick]

It was over a decade ago now, but I believe I got them through JEGS!

[@ajhl9898]

Zero lip BBS on the type 3 would be a refreshing look.

[@mikescudder4621]

looks mint!

[@octanemayhem2686]

That zero lip is absolutely horrendous lol. My vote is keep the 5 spoke for this car. Save those BBS for another build. IMHO.. beautiful build tho.

[@firstamairgen]

Gold BBS on the 4 door and leave the Epsilons on the Monza. My 2 cents

[@George-zq2sk]

i knew there was a bbs set coming from 944! i vote for dish, polished wide.

[@itsBlack]

I got SSR Mesh cause I knew I wouldn't find some e50s anytime soon lol. I think the other wheels look better but might be because they are silver and don't clash with the car. But would love to seem actually fitted and maybe a silver center 🤔 but the patina of the original wheel is cool too 😅

[@octopaul]

Like the music you recorded for this, what guitar do you play? Sounds a bit Fender, maybe a Jazzmaster or Strat?

[@simonmenzies3142]

The white car will look better with the new bbs👌🏻

[@willjam465]

FWIW…deep lip is the way to go imho. I am personally not a fan of the zero lip look, though. Love the BBS wheels.

[@offwhitecolby]

epsilons on the coupe. bbs on the sedan. sedan gives more dtm vibes that a coupe imo

[@thomasvanuffelen2502]

I think the Epsilons look best imo

[@jerryhoogeveen]

Deep lip, light polish, keep the faces as they are.

[@danharper726]

Deep brushed lip would go hard with the original condition of the face

[@1pbean]

Looks like the soccer team agrees! And the lady! Leave it alone!

[@TonyFlaherty]

I dunno John.....the bbs are cool but the southern ways are such a tough look to beat!!!!

[@robertcarrasco2504]

That is drop dead badass

[@gravityze]

IMO you can’t break up the wheels/lips that have been together this long, I love the vintage look of the wheels, just polish the lips and send em

[@jbtubas]

I think zero lip wheels would look rad on the BMW 700

[@jakubwojcik9791]

If I was you, I would keep 5 spoke wheels on corvair and put BBS e50 on VW 1600. With 0 lip

[@brettcooper1872]

If it was front wheel drive, zero lip would would work. I reckon leave them as they and fit them or go deeper dish

[@bamurfey]

E50s on the 4 Door would have a more "classic" look imo. The 5 spokes on the 2 door looks more aggressive and sporty.

[@lwrdinu]

I like the e50s with a deep lip IMO.

[@justonlance2536]

Deep dish would go hard!!!! The bmw would pull 0 off

[@hemiboyrcbmxerwilliams7599]

BBS on the type 3 and build that car around the wheels leave the monza alone it is iconic the way it is and put the cragers on the 4 door

[@simonmenzies3142]

💯💯💯💯💯💯tbe current wheels👌🏻 Buuuut… sometimes you just need a change. So fit the 5spoke… ‘for a while’ But the bbs ARE NOT this cars forever wheels. It’s 5spokes are.

[@JKO-5]

E50 deep 2 door Corvair

[@rogerzapp919]

Nice bbs bruv

[@Nopokenolove]

Deep dish,I feel like zero lip on a long body car is not the way to go imo!

[@Squeek_is_back_at_it_again]

No go on the 0 lip imo. Id have to see the bbs's on the chop top to make an honest opinion about that change

[@der_heidiii]

The BBS E50 are super nice rims, but they don't look right on the Corvair. I only ever see these rims on an 80s/90s car. I love the Corvair with the 5-spoke rims 🤎
