I was going to hang onto these suckers but have decided to let them go....they are originally of a Euro 66 beetle - as you can see from the pics they are wide 5 steelies (15in).

They have been sandblasted, etch primed, painted in two pack silver with clear coat and then stored. The caps are originals and just polished up....you can see from one of the pics that a couple of the rims have some pitting on the inside (not visible when a tyre is on) - I have been assured by a tyre place that this will not affect its sealing ability, however a tube could be run to be sure.

Anyway, there are five rims and 4 caps as pictured.

I would like $400 for the set (or nearest offer).

Hi Alan,
Is that measured from the inside faces where the tyre seats?
STD wheels are either 4" or 4.5".
They look like 4", being that they have no saftey bead(early).

Sorry Dave, you are right. I should have stipulated that (was in a hurry when I typed the response) - the measurement is from both the inner and outer edges of the rim, NOT from the inside faces where the tyre seats. Thanks for clearing that up. :thumb
