4 stud or wide 5?
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I dunno but to me old Vw brake drums are just that! Old brake drums and not really worth anything.... But apparently these rusty old Vw parts are actually worth money! I'd offer someone 20 bucks I guess?? Then again, I hate making offers!

Due to their rarity,and quality. They are worth some cash. The last lot I bought set me back $200. They were complete and machined to fit a beetle. So take in consideration if they need machining,new shoes ect.

Old German OE metal is much better quality than aftermarket replacements.
Measure the drum diameter to determine how much life is left in them.
The early drums '62-3 are a smaller diameter than '64-7 which are bigger and better!
I think $250 is a fair price for a part that is nearing 50 years old, that is still in usable condition.
