Curious if there's a way to tell (just from these photos) which vehicle these may have come from...
First two (not sure if from bug or bus)
I've seen these before... can't recall the name (Riverias?)
Same with this one... I'm thinking 1970s mag probably for beetle, not sure of name

Thanks resto..... are those top two wheels specific to bus only or could they also have been made for early beetles? If early bus, then most likely they'd be 14", no?

Nope 15 inch bus wheels are 64 & down 65 & later are 14's or something like that not into those wheels. plus the offset of bus wheels are bad for bug you'll rub on the springplates from my experience.

The top 2 are not for bug. They are bus rims. They rub terribly on bugs. Being that there are no crows feet markings, they are not Lemmerz. If they have a VW logo, they were made by VW, if not, they are Kronprinz.
