I have a set of these as well. When I was a kid my dad had a set on a super beetle and i bought a 1973 standard from a man at work and it happened to have a complete set of them on it. I was thrilled. I cant find them anywhere either. I would love to have a brand new set. I amthinking about trying to get mine re chromed.

These 14" wheels are on this Thing, which I am interested in buying. I presume they were a dealer option, or maybe Porsche? Are they worth anything?

Thanks,
John

I love Cal-parts wheels tooo Very Happy just hated trying to fit them on the front of my bug back in the 80's because I couldn't lower it alot but with narrowing beam's like most of us do now it's really not an issue anymore Cool .
