I never got to use the Ford Model A wheels I bought on the Jag(VW based) but I fit them on a Bugatti replica with 2 adapters. I'd say figure out your bolt pattern and then go shopping for adapters or get it custom made. Now if you can get a set of MG wheels or any other English car wheels they'd look even better than the Model A wheels, they're a little beefier. But will cost more obviously. Here you can see the set on I put on my car. It's the blue Bugatti at 8:53 Looks good on that car but I think they're a little too puny for the SS100

Thanks Bruce! I don't plan on taking it on the highway or go over 45 mph anyway so I'm willing to give up some handling for a more authentic look. I actually just found a recently restored set of 19" Model A wheels with new tires on craigslist for $800 + shipping across country. I'm going to buy them and see what happens. I can always put them back on CL if things don't work out. I think it's going to look kind of like the one way2go posted on the first page of this thread(also below), with the exception that mine will be almost touching the fender instead of the huge gap. Hopefully mine will not stick out of the fender as much either. Keeping fingers crossed. I'll update here if I make any progress in case someone else comes across this forum looking to do the same.

Hello, First post here. Hoping some of you guys are still here. I bought an Antique & Classic SS100 replica(VW) last year to use for my wedding and it turned our great. I'm planning on keeping this car forever since it has sentimental values now and would like to make some improvements. Mainly would like to change the wheels/tires to a taller, more narrow setup. I really can't stand looking at the current setup... Has anyone been able to successfully do this for a reasonable price? I'm thinking Ford Model A 19'' wheels but I'm guessing I'll have to raise the car a little so it wont rub. Current tires are 195/75/15 (wheels are 5 bolt, 5"). I"m assuming this is the same setup as the VW Bug? There is about 3" distance between the tires and fenders under load. Raising the car won't be an issue but the main thing will be finding the right wheels and fitting them on the hubs(or changing the hubs?). I see Frazer Nash replicas all the time with much more "period correct" wheels so I wonder if I should buy a beat-up one for 2k and take it's wheels... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
