so frustrated! this has been a 2 week steady search!
i have a 67 baja bug and the 5x205 bolt pattern is very very difficult to work around.
the empi wheels i could deal with (little heavy) but there 15inch and i want 14 inch.
how do you guys deal with this? does anyone make a quality adapter (with a spacer would be cool but no big deal) that goes from the 5x205 down to a 4x156?
if not then what is a good BEADLOCK wheel that is light and atleast close to 10inch wide by 14.
i`m just at my wits end with this having went to my local tire shop back and forth over the past week or so, i`m sure i am missing something very obvious but i am very new to the bug world. thank you for any help!
fyi:
this bug is off-road only mainly mountain trails and climbs and fire roads. |

Beadlock 10x14" wheels on 4x156?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
WTF?
What are they? Wheels for a quad?
4x156 is bizarre.
So is 10 x 14.
Even more so is a 14" beadlock rim.
You want lightweight and yet you want beadlock?
And you're complaining about VW lug patterns being tough to work around?
You'd have more luck looking for radical right wing transvestite presidential candidates.
14" rims were popular with street fiberglass buggy people back in the late 60s and early 70s. The bolt pattern you're seeking is for ATV/UTV, or industrial equipment. |

you can get good quality wheels for those and they are very common now |

4x156 is bizarre. -------------in the bug world yes.
So is 10 x 14. -------------14 x10

And you're complaining about VW lug patterns being tough to work around?------------- hence why i am asking for help because i am finding a very limited supply of 5x205.
