None! Send them to me for disposal!

Seriously they will fit any wide 5 VW Beetle from mid 50's to 67. They fit the Bus up to 72 I believe. So and Buggy based on those cars will take those wheels.

Things (type 181) and 1964 to 1970 Bus (type 2) used 14in diameter wheels.
The Things wheels were like a Bus wheel, with using inset wheel. Outer face of wheel was even with center where lug bolts fit.
Finding a tire that fits a 14in diameter wheel has become more difficult.
If you wanted to use them on your Thing there were places that made wider fiberglass fenders for them.

I have a set of 15" Bus wheels but they are much narrower than those. I use them on my sand rail with street tires when I flat tow it any distance. They won't take a very wide tire.

I would buy those in a heart beat if we were closer. The shipping would be a killer.
