  View original topic: Is this a stock beetle rim? Can't seem to find another one

I have been searching threads and net galleries and I can't find this rim. I have 3 of them on my super vert, and want a fourth. (the fourth is a stock 73 rim) The holes are round and tapered to the outside.

NOT VW OEM. Check the back side for markings - you might have to remove a tire to see if markings are on the actual rim. Don't appear to be Mangles either.

Does anyone know where these are from?

That would be cool. I can't seem to figure out where they came from. Do you have any idea what they came off of or where?

What are you going to be wanting for them? I only need 1, but if the price is right....

I now have a set of 4 of these rims. As I have learned they are rare Brazilian only dealer option mangels. 15"x 5.5". Now the question of the century. What are they worth?

Anyone? Still trying to value these rims. Contemplating having them powder coated.
