Graku Wheels - History? Info?
Hey everyone!
Can someone tell me about Dutch wheel manufacturer, GRAKU? What era were these wheels, for the most part? I'm looking at some 3-piece, aluminum, 15" wheels. They appear to essentially be a BBS knock-off. Do these wheels generally have a good reputation? General worth? This is basically the same series, but 5 on 130 Porsche pattern...  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! |

Probably 80's race wheels, right? Or would these have showed up in the 70's??
I'm building an early long hood and trying to stay in the mid to late 70's era for the components. I'm thinking these might be a little too new. |

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out. Obviously not traditional for a "factory" car, but for a race car from the era intended.... possibly. I could use the info. I suspect they are a later wheel design from the 80's.

As far as I know, there are copies of BBS wheels for sale in Germany, new ones... Apperently made by BBS too, they just don't have the stamp, and "I think" the material differs a bit from the originals.....
