 |
|
if anyone could help identify these wheels it would be much appreciated. they are 16 x 3 and mount to a 5 x 205 drum
thank you
not sure if their VW but they do mount on wide five drums its just the hubcap doesn't fit.... haven't found any typical markings on them yet either
thanks again

this has been asked before and it seems opels and fords - and others - of the era used the same bolt pattern. those look like ford popular/anglia wheels to me see:-

Thanks that really helped out...I just picked up a set of these on a whim and the posts really helped me with IDing these...I had no idea what they were but thought they were cool and they fit and the price was right

Too cool ! I like all types of VW styles from stock to modified... I was thinking of widening two for the back of a baja someday or just run them on my 65 street car... thanks |

... early Opel Olympia use a solid 16 and eventually a 15" VW-looking wheel, but VW hubcap does not fit.
also used the same early semaphore.
