I picked up a 62 project bug today and it came with this. This looks like the well sought after high dollar Empi wheel for VW, but I have also seen some similar pics that say these are for Datsun. Can someone help me identify and give me idea on value?

the slots in the spokes look short, it maybe a 16in Datsun wheel.

So, i went back last night to pick up the rest of the parts from the '62 project I bought. Sifting through the parts, I find the wheel that was originally supposed to go with the Bug. I negotiated a deal and bought this too. After the response I have received on the first wheel, I have decided to sell both. They are both nice used condition, but understand they are used and not NOS. I am not giving these away, but will offer them here before they go to eBay.

I have asked for feedback on price, no one has stepped up and provided it so I will start at $750.00 each...

This has become an ad, post an ad in the Classifieds if you are selling it.
