Rekord C Coupe 67

Mit Copy Paste schreiben viele ihre Doktorarbeiten und werden später Bundespräsident. So kann das enden.

Tja, ob das schon so verbreitet war in der Zeit als das Internet noch in den Säuglings Stadium steckte, wenns überhaupt schon geboren war?

Starting to look like a proper car again....
Just waiting for some parts to arrive and throw the engine and gearbox to it

….shure…?…doesńt fit….

Looks like some Renault rims.

[xpbernardo]

They are original COSMIC rims specifically made for the Rekord at the time, with 185/70R13 tires, like the pictures. Only difference is the car in the pictures is a Commodore, so 5 stud rims.

why?

I think the rims look too modern on the car - more suitable for a car from the 90s. What's IMPORTANT is that you like it...that's what it's all about.

Cosmic wheels actually came on the market around 1968. There are also ads in vintage magazines, appraising them also for Rekord C whilst focussing more on Kadett Rallyes and GTs. Even Alpina stocked them, making the Cosmic wheel relatively popular on the then new BMW 02 series. A cool and authentic set of wheels, however, I personally don't like them too much on a Rekord C. But this is the age of diversity, I guess

Spot on. They were "a thing" here back in that days. Still very popular among other cars like Mini, Ford Capri, BMW 2002, Opel Manta.

ATS wheels are common as well, but those I think that really look too modern and racing for the Rekord.

Another option I thought was the steel enlarged wheels adapted from the Kadett. There are members here that has them and I really like it too

Also not my Choice, doesn´t matter what i think.

Kids, be free. Do anything you wanna do so long you don´t hurt anybody.....

Nice Car, parts are on their way since yesterday.

That says it all....these rims would be too new for me

It's a process.. Don't know what future holds regarding other tire/rim sizes. For now they will stay. I've a Land Rover Discovery 2 with 3 different rim tire choices. So don't ask me if those cosmic ones will stay for a long time

Can't tell from where these parts are.
The 2 curve springs are similar to the ones that are used in the triangular air ducts, but those are already there so don't know from where are these ones...
