Hello Ray
I can help with the rims.
These are Porsche Cookie Cutter (manufacturer ATS)
I think 6x15 at the front and 7x15 at the rear.
Tire size I can only guess.

Wow....really nice and complete. Let us know what you need. Bear in mind....dont drive it too far until you go through the front end.....and if its an automatic trans.....do a center section reseal. Ray |

Ray, Thanks I am aware of the issue with the differential atf contamination and it is of my main concern.I currently have it parked and it has seen minimal driving since I have owned it.It is also leaking a small amount of fluid from the bell housing, and it has a reddish tint.🤔I have not checked the oil in differential, but it sounds like maybe I should change the gear oil before I drive it anymore? Would I be able to tell if it's contaminated?.
my plan is to rebuild the transmission and differential this winter but I would like to be able to drive it until then..but I don't want to do it any unknown harm..
I have changed the atf and transmission works great except for clunk into reverse which has improved tremendously with tune up and the idle being right...but is still touchy but randomly shifts perfect. Torque converter?
As far as the front end it seems really solid the car has 57000 miles and is in really sound condition and drives nicer than any other vw I've been in...😁but what should I be concerned about?...what would you suggest as far as easy upgrades?I have heard you emphasize this before but not in detail...

Since 5 months I own a 411 LE. Originally delivered to France, the car is back in Germany now. Unrestored and nearly without any rust. All screws I opened at time worked without brute force. Ok, the muffler needed some help, but thats been the only one.
But now some pictures:

Summer has changed to autumn, so background colors will be a better contrast.
Today, I travelled through the suburbs to Munich, an interesting townname has been worth to take a picture.

In addition to a necessary shopping tour, at 4/11 it was a nice opportunity to take a few sunny pictures:
Happy Eastern and stay healthy,
