VW Fact #215: 64-65 Type 3s used smooth rims, similar to Beetle rims but with a unique hubcap attachment |
What's different about 61-63 wheels compared to 64-65 wheels? |

'61 - '63 Type 3 rims are slotted and not smooth.

Holy crap! Didn't know that. They look like bus rims! Do they take the same hubcaps? |

They take the type 3 hubcap. No clips on the rim. _________________

Aha! Thanks to this thread, I've figured out what the "goofy" rims on our '65 Beetle are. Two of them are that "clipless smoothie" type. Are they valuable/needed by you folks? _________________ 1974 Thing -- under the knife
