Hi All! I have bought a 66 Microbus that I'm going to restore. I noticed I've got different wheels on it, two of each.

What are they and which is right for my bus.

One got slots in it...

The one with the slot is correct. This is one from my '65.

The non-slotted ones are probably Thing wheels. You'll notice that they have a different offset than the slotted wheels. You should be able to easily get enough for those Thing wheels to cover the cost of a couple of correct wheels.
