For those that have seen this post, and need to know more on the "Last Bug" look at this thread..

It even has "Rostyles" on it, that's what them wheels are called.

Yes, you right, not the same car, but the "Idea" has been revived.

Rostyles were made in 15 x 4.5 J and in 15 x 5J and in 14 x5J

Maybe even others I do not know of.

They were not solely for the VW's other cars also had them off the assembly line in South Africa.

That look's like an original hoop but on the original hoops there is a symbol and a name of the hoop but I don't remember and all my sa's have tires on them now so I can't look to see what it is. Check your inner bead and look for the symbol/name. Also original SA's only came in 15x4.5's NEVER in 15x5's unless they were re-hooped. I've owned around 25 of the 15 inch wheels and all were 15x4.5's. These are not rare at all.

Finally mounted my Rostyle's. Fronts are stock 4.5", rears are widened to 6". I need to find some 70 mm caps. Founds some cheapo plastic ones that fit for now. Any other suggestions for caps that are that size?
