Here are some 19in rims on a nice two tone beetle...

Dasdubber ·

And another...this time only measly 18in. Man I think I might get a complex with only 17in on my beetle :cry

pod ·

dont know if anyone else agrees ,but i think the older style cars look better with old style wheels not the newer ricer boy styles.
but thats my opinion ok

wrecker67 ·

looks good,but you need the taste for the, on a bug...what about the inner guards scraping,,,as long as it looks good hey,,,

KruizinKombi ·

pod, I agree, but only on period-styled cars... Cars with more modern styling, such as Steve Carter's bug, look great with big alloys. 😀

nbturbo ·

Bullshit-they both look AWESOME

oval TOFU ·

i dont mind the newer rims on the older period cars, but I reckon they should have more metal rather than the spindley spider-like spokes... some Merc E-Class rims would look good, as would some Jag-styled rims...

moonlite6t6beetle ·

anyone know where to get 17inch rims for a 64?

Midlife crisis ·

I think they look good.
Not what I would do, I like the older style on older cars.
But each to there own taste on their cars

Freddie Fender ·

What about wire spoke rims on an older Beetle? This would look very interesting!

Robo ·

Im with Pod, if you want new style, buy a new car! and I don't wear a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches!
Rob...😎

byronbus ·

Ive seen your jacket Rob, it goes with your cap

nbturbo ·

why don't you give the jacket a go-could start a new trend-couldn't be any worse than the crap our people are wearing now trying to keep up with the yanks.

Dasdubber ·

I must admit I am not a huge fan of the second one but love the first (although would have ditched the two tone).

Pod and Robo, I gather you are not German/Euro Look fans? 🙂

I guess thats what makes the vw scene so cool, so many different looks and everyone likes different styles. Personally I get bored looking at car after car of 100 point stock restos... and I do like tweed jackets with leather patches!!

(just kidding) :P

ducky ·

I like first one but bet they scrape

Dannyboy ·

Do look good on older bugs but not with a 2 tone paint job. All a matter of taste i suppose

purists will hate me. i think they both look tops, you can't go past an old school car with nice paint, on it's guts and big rims, just me though. i do still appreciate the original llok, the only thing i hate is ride height. i like my cars LOW

ikube ·

c'mon ...
18" 19" ? how can the dub move, unless it has a 2.0 turbo ? it's gona be slow starting for a stock engine...
maybe comfy on long distance cruise ? ^^

type3kid ·

wrecker67 ·

BiX ·
