| tire rack was the most helpful. If you search all available tire sizes, rim widths are in the tire specs. |

| Bring back and old post with this one... I just pick up a set of Turtle backs and they are pretty rough. They all have some decent curb rash and a sizable chunk out of one. What do yall think is a good value of a set of 4 with out caps. That way I can gauge what I am willing to invest in some restoration of the set. |

There are several sets to chose from in theSamba Classifieds Parts - Wheels / Tires ...
Look under Superior Industries Wheels or Volksmag. |

Has anyone ever seen turtlebacks with whitewalls?
I'm due to buy some tires, considering some (narrow stripe) whitewalls.
Probably a terrible idea, but I figure if they look goofy I can just remount them with the whites inside.

I realize I'm in the minority, but I love whitewalls. I endorse the idea for skinny stripe ones on your turtlebacks! Not sure I've ever personally seen it done, but I like the idea--please follow up with some pictures, if you indeed go thru with it! Beautiful Ghia by the way!
