I saw these rims on a 70 Beetle and wondered who makes them and what are they made of. Any help is greatly appreciated

American Racing Daisy rims. Are they 14” or 15’s?

Looks like the official name is Libre and Daisy is a nickname. I think their probably all 14’s. There’s always some for sale in classifieds.ore popular is its sister wheel the Lemans.

Many companies reproduced this style of wheel, markings on back side of wheel will tell the company and size/width.
