Hi. Don't know but guys like me have used. PM me or check classifieds. They aren't rare and they do look nice on most early cars. They are 4" wide, as you probably know. There are suppliers of aftermarket wheels but the opening is shaped aa little different, I believe.
Hope this helps, Bill. |

No
Original 66-67 4x15 (5x205 pattern) wheels are not being reproduced.. but you can find plenty in the classified.. or usually at any VW event.
I think I have about 20 in storage..

are those the slotted wheels instead of smooth? I picked up two at bug jam for $20. I would trade two of them for a smoothie so I can have a correct spare
