thanks will keep it in mind i get the car on Saturday so need to work out what I want to do.

I would have the rims re painted and cleared I just think if all im doing to my white 69 is to lower the front and put wide wheels then they are more suited than mags but in the end it is just personal preference

Barls,

Here is one back for all the times you get up people for not complying with the rules you enforce. Check your add, no postcode.

Please see part of your quote below;

"Ok enough is enough.

If you post an add and it is not in line with the rules YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED, NO COMMENT JUST DELETED .... you have been warned It really isn't that hard, you get great coverage for FREE so I don't think it is to much to ask ......."



I hope you take this as constructive criticism as it is intended and realise we can all make mistakes. And I hope this wasn't a mistake pointing this out and you can have a laugh at yourself 😂😂😂😂😂

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

bus914 what is the offset on these rims and the tyre size you are running? Have you had any clearance issues on the type 3?

Offset is 25. tyres 185/65. No rubbing anywhere. Car is slightly lowered.

Offset is how far the wheel sits fron the face of the drum/rotor

have a look here
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

A stock wheel is 4 1/2" ET 41

A V Force Spider and Porsche Cookie Cutter is 6" ET 36
The above wheels are probably the best fitmant for a super beetle.
They are also very good for a beam beetle
A lot of 4 stud wheels are 6" ET 20 and this is too wide for a decent lowering

Ok just to update where I am at based on my other thread about tyres

Rosie will have drop spindles installed still need to decide whether i should do this before or after the wheels.

Tyre sizes will most likely be

Rear 195 x 15 x V65

Front 175 x 15 x 175

Have placed an order for EMPI 8 spokes (due in July) but am a little torn on whether I should buy these or go with a mode traditional look of have chrome wheels with hubcaps as Rosie is a pretty straight looking 69. If i buy the 8 spokes I may paint the callipers and drums racing red as that will make the car go faster lol

In the end it comes down to personal choice and thats the problem. I will be going to the Australian Nationals next month to have a good look at wheels and upholstery so maybe i will make a final decision then.

If you have photos of your beetle with chrome wheels would love to see them on here
