They can, but it’s not going to be much more that what has already been stated. There simply aren’t many “off the shelf” wheel designs that are “bolt on” to a Superbeetle that look GREAT imo. If you start looking into different stud patterns, and custom offsets, the sky’s the limit. You also need the wallet for that limit though. A Swing Axle vehicle with the ability to use an early short axle/tube, and a narrowed beam are huge aids in making the best use of commonly available Aircooled VW wheels. Neither of which is easily done on a Super. |
