hey folks, im interested in getting these exsact rims for my 74 bay kombi, is there a specific combination of rims and hub caps to get??, i really like the dished look on these ones can you get them for a late bay kombi?? if so what measurements do they come in/sizes etc?? also am wanting the exsact tyre combination on the rims with the white stripe on them, where can i get the tyres from? do you buy the tyres with the white stripe on them already or do you have to get insert or something?? if any one could please help me out to what sort of rims and tyres these are that would be great, or if you know the owner of this kombi?
cheers
original rim's off your bay window. and get some early modle hub caps, like off a splitty 😉 they fit 👍

yeah i was thinking of that but they dont look very dished look very different to those on that bus, but i will keep that in mind probly the best idea tho
cheers mate
Have your existing wheels widened by Ajax wheels in Moorabbin 9555 7737 and add whitewall inserts from Antique Tyres. You can buy whitewall tyres from Antique but the price is out there. Antique Tyres are in Heidelberg.
Paul King owns that bus and would be happy to tell you the sizes. I'll u2u his number.
no brake cooling holes in those rims, only came on earlier beetles and i suppose busses, so they would have been wide 5 pattern, i dont think anyoens make smoothies in the small 5 pattern

yeah sweet as, thanks 65busser, his number would be great mate.
oh yeah im after the same hubcaps as on that splitty dont have to have the vw symbol on em, but would that style fit on my original stockies?? are they called domed hubbies?? or someting else? like original splitty rims??
cheers
take a close look, the caps one that one do have the VW symbol, they all did, but the domies will fit fine on a standard bay bus rim, i will get u a pick of my spare soon, has one of those caps on it.

sweet as man, yeah i was thinking of smooth dome hubbies with low profile tyres and a thin white band around em, and of course the rims in red.
cheers
