Mustang 4-lug is 4x4.25 which (best I can figure) comes out to 4x107.9mm. VW is 4X130mm for air cooled beetles and 4x100 for rabbit's and stuff.

I scored a set of 4x130 Ronal Kleebatt's 5,5".

They're euro '70s aftermarket wheels, pretty rare

Here's an example from someone else on here :

I plan on having mine polished and detailed black on the lower parts

Kickass, man. I want a set of Ronal Turbos eventually... may have to redrill my rotors to get them to fit - I don't think they ever came in a 4x130.

Like these:

Anybody have information about Ruspa Wheels ?
I have bought a set of them at the Valence swapmeet (FRANCE).
6x14, 4x130.

I just found that these rims are made for Mini (10"), Alfa Roméo, Fiat, Lancia (13", 14", and 16"(not sure for 16")) during the 70's.
4x130 is the "spacing" of Lancia Fulvia.

If you have some info about these rims, I want them all ! :lol:

Valentin, I've read worse English from native English speakers.

I dunno what they are, but I DIG'EM!!!! Saw them in some Japanese show coverage on SpeedHunters...... Centercap almost looks like it has a Wolfsburg Crest or a Fuch "FOX", but may be a stylized "H" or something. :wink:

volkswagen sport wheels (or kronprinz-wheels)
sized: 4,5 inch wide, et41 and 5,5 inch wide et34
