same for my 4 lugs, I have one set original center on my ghia and one BBt for the spare and it is the same. You can also have other center sticker that sell separately if I remember.
4 and 5 lugs are the same and the cost is very affordable.

I took mine directly at BBT and were very affordable...they fit in a small box and should not cost a lot to ship by mail or contact BBT for distributor in your area
they are metal and similar to the original...except the logo

Can anybody help me to find it out which ET is correct to my 1961 beetle? For the front I want to buy 4,5 and for the rear 5,5. but I don't know the ET. In Europe there are 3 kind of ET's: 15, 25 and 34. For the front I don't want to have any offset! My beetle is a very original one, on the front I have disc brakes(with some offset), on the rear I have the original drum brakes.
Thanks:Attila from Budapest

How narrow is your beam, and how much did you go down in the rear?

I got a painted set shortly after they came out and they were like my 6 yr old painted them. After powder coat and paint they are a nice repo of the original (have a set of orig's as well).

Several of the chrome sizes/offsets have been out of stock at CIP1 for several months. Does anybody know if they are still making these? If so, anywhere else to get them?
