they were made in the 80s, loopys were made in the 80s, there you go you're era correct, maybe not year correct but era correct yes

if you bought a loopy in 85 and changed parts around on it like we all did over a period of time the you would be ok with these wheels.

most people just upgraded what they had, i was still riding my 82 gt in 85 so it had some parts on it from 85 :daumenhoch:

Did anyone find someone who can install the rivets properly? There's a stunning set of wheels that's being let down by having bolted-on hubs. I know the UK-built rear wheels had bolt-on hubs but it really spoils the look of them IMO.
