What wheels do you like on a Razor-Edge Ghia?
What wheels do you think suit a Razor?
Gotta be 15”, right?
I’d like to see some pictures.

Yes, ace colour combo.
Porsche Boxster Twist wheels?
The Razor design seems to make it tricky to get the wheels right.
Similar rim (Porsche Cups)
These wheels are too modern for my taste

Detailed Cosmics really suit a Razor for some reason
Maybe because they are not too curvy, and not too straight…a unisex wheel
I prefer an original period rim, 60s/70s…15”
And with a black detail seems to work best

Cosmics look great on all Type 3s.  My Squareback back in the day:

Yes

DSRs…doesn’t work does it
Stance has got to be right to give the rims a chance
Rims skimming the wheel arch edge? With some tuck at the front

2 liters look good all polished, I agree they don't look good with the black details.
DSR's look terrible
The Porsche twists look better than the cups. Funny because I like the cups better than twists on a bug
Classic original VW wheels and hubcaps with accessory trim rings is a good look (my old car, not a great pic  )

Agreed on your "no's" so far.
That Terra Brown T34 with DSRs is gross. Love that color combo.

Yes, the polished 2L look good on that red Ghia…it helps really liking the look of the car
Not many faded original Razors around
Empi 5s are too cartoon, aren’t they

Amen
The early 5-stud solids are cool

SA Sprintstars look like they would work, but gotta get that stance right…and make them originals!
^Repops
Seats here are green, which clashes with the red. Nice Ghia though (in the UK)

Those were going to be alternate rims versus the 2 tone stock rims. Mainly because you don't see them used any more. Plus I thought they'd look good with the Sea Blue #2 paint color.
