Been looking for some time at getting wider rims for my '63 544. Any experience with the available 5.5" rims or aftermarkets?

I love the red "V" of my hubcaps but they click at low speeds. I've heard of people widening the 4" rim and Skandix makes an in-house 5.5" rim that accepts the trim rings and the red "V" hubcap. Very pricey and still just a steel rim.

I do like the look of the Kronprinz rims. They're 5.5" and at the proper offset. No red "V" hubcaps or trim rings.

Is it worth widening the wheels? Any experience with the ones mentioned above?
