No such thing!
To be picky about the wording, there are "chromed stock rims," meaning a stock painted rim someone has blasted and chromed. VW never shipped them from the factory with chrome rims.
There are also aftermarket chrome rims that resemble stock wheels. Be careful about offset, since they might be for T3s or Buses, which have different offset than Bugs, I hear.

The thing about offset is true. But I've never seen an aftermarket chrome rim for T3. They're all Bug offset, AFAIK.

| Maybe I was a little vague, I have a 69 type 1 and it has chrome rims that look stock. I have only the three the other is the stock spare so what I need is the other aftermarket chrome rim so I can have my spare back, I'm sure someone near me has one laying around any ideas |

if you are looking for a rim for a Type 1, why the post here in the Type 3 forum?
