These wheels were on my Bug when I bought it. Can anyone identify them?

I was told they were 356 stockies.

There is some markings but nothing that looks like PORSCHE or VW

i don't know the maker but they are 66/7 US/euro vw slotted style.

they were never made/sold in Australia so are far less common here than the Porsche 356 style wheels.

Sure looks like stock 5-lug rims for a 1966:

That's Rockwell's old logo.

The stock VW rim would not have holes for the clips. Looks like Porsche style aftermarket.

What I said...

If they're 4Jx15, they're aftermarket VW.
