Looks very slick! Where'd you source those center caps? |
I didn't they came with the wheels, I will ask the previous owner. _________________ 1968 VW Beetle | |

It's no biggie. I just have never seen center caps offered with these wheels when they've been for sale in the samba classifieds. No idea what an original one looks like. _________________ Stock Steve

Circling around to the 2 liter classic. Funny how a wheel intended for a Porsche has a VW logo on the inside?

The Porsche 914 was a joint venture between Volkswagen and Porsche- I think it started as a Karmann Ghia replacement, with VW selling the 4 cylinder version and Porsche selling the 6 cylinder version, but it became the entry level Porsche _________________ Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.~Vernon Law

Can someone tell me if other vw wheels from a MK1 golf or polo(european)
have the same bolt pattern 130pcd ?As I like my stock 1972 1200 beetle wheels-but the tyre selection available in Ireland is very limited-my local tyre dealer only gets me 155/60 or 165/50 at the mo-thanks. |

To answer your question jarmchairpilot-NO.
VW went from a 130mm bolt pattern to a 100mm when they first went watercooled (Mk1).
