fairly certain these are American Racing.
I had them on my first bug back in the 90's

Thanks slave1! Yes it does appear that is exactly what those are.

What do you think for $100? Includes the Falken tires as well...

These look more like Ansens to me. Should say on the back of them. I think $100 is a good deal. They've got quite a dish to them, but they look pretty narrow. If your car is lowered, you'll probably need a narrowed beam.

They're 15's, so it's a guess. All the westerns or American racing slots I've seen for VWs have been 13 or 14"
