Bug is 3.0 bus is 3.25 I believe, although I recall early Porsche rims having slots for cooling

I need to correct myself. In 53 they would have been 3X16 with no slots for cooling on the 1.1 litre and 1.3 liter cars and slotted for the 1.5 liter cars. It wasn't until 1955 that rim width increased to 3.25
