bought some new shoes
improvement?
Now I'm trying to figure out whether they are Epsilons or Southern Ways (made by Weds?) They are both very identical except I hear Epsilons do not have the SW stamp. Also I wonder if two of them are two piece and the other two are three piece because two have the 21 offset stamped and the other two do not. Also the ones with the stamped offset has the width stamped also. I'll take off the old rubber soon and find out. Hopefully these pictures will help others as well as answer my question because I've been looking at so many pictures and they don't seem to have enough detail to tell. Look closely to see the 7 stamped width and also you can see the 110 stamped for the pcd. The numbers in the circles seem to be months/years so all my wheels are made in 1981 and the months vary slightly.
Also I need to repair and refinish the wheels. Any color suggestions? Leave it the way it is? I'll definitely keep everyone updated on these rare wheels.

thanks!
yea seems like i'll fix the lips for now and refinish them later. touch up the chip though. we'll see when i take it to the wheel repair shop this weekend.
Read from a VW forum:
These are made by Southern Ways of Japan originally. Later on they changed the company name to Epsilon. Most of the people in here won't know about them since they're Japanese wheels. Parts for them are fairly easy to find on the Club4ag or Dimequarterly.
again thanks for all the compliments guys! looking forward to hearing from you wacky as well as providing more updates!
woo hoo! post 1,000!!!!

under exposed... but i liked the deep color
lil blurry
better pics to come but let me know what you guys think. was it worth the $$$? unfortunately i think one wheel has a leak. i am monitoring the air pressure and going to take it back to fix again if it is indeed leaking so i am not taking any chances now and swapped back my original wheel
stay tuned!
