Howdy y'all!

I just bought a 69 bug, and it came with these wheels in pic. Curious if anyone knows what they are and any thoughts - if they are considered "VW cool", have any vintage value, or are they just Pepboys cheap wheels? I have only ever had stock wheels on previous bugs... so I am not up on custom wheel types at all really... other than like Empi 8 spoke from the olden days...

Thanks!

That looks like a riviera wheel, for a super beetle/ghia setup. Try that keyword and see what pops up

That specific one looks like a american racing style thats similar to the stock one im talking about.
