Hi,

my Name is Thorsten from Germany,my Username is vw-museum and i drive since several Years original 5-Lug Porsche Cosmic Wheels on my `68 Bug.

Unfortunately i don`t have many Informations about the History of these rare Wheels.

I heard about the Production of only one Year(1972-1973) in the UK.

I would really appreciate,if i could some Informations about these Wheels.

Thanks a lot

Kind Regards from Germany

Thorsten Very Happy [/img]

This PDF file, is a little more specific:

http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/pdf/Cosmicwheels1972.pdf

I had 13 x 5½ inch, 4-stud Cosmic alloy wheels on my 1974 Triumph Toledo 1300, 4-door saloon, until I substituted 13 x 5½ inch, 4-stud Triumph Dolomite Sprint alloy wheels, whose offset was better suited.

Not long ago, 5-stud, Cosmic-style alloy wheels became available for 1968~79 VW Type 2s.
