Does anybody have any idea if these will fit good on a super beetle with disc conversion?

I couldn't see why it wouldn't. I am running Retro Rim (UK) version of EMPI 8-spokes on mine, however, and have only about an 1/8th inch clearance between the front caliper and rim. http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C32%2DE28P
The spokes on the 914 rims look like they're dished outwards enough to clear the caliper but you should ask the vendor for more details.

They will fit for sure.

A customer of mine has a '73 with four wheel discs and those wheels.

Are these supposed to have a hub cap? Center cap? Just having the hole right in the middle doens't seem right, and you could see the very unpretty dust covers very plainly.

If you can't match it with CIP1 etc. caps then you'd have to have custom billet caps made? :shock:
