WTD: Early type 3 rims

https://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/threads/69358/wtd-early-type-3-rims

PHAT BUG ·

I've been trying to find some but so far no luck,
So what I'm chasing is at least a pair of these babies.......



They are very similar to a Kombi rim except they dont have hubcap clips, instead have 3 raised bumps like normal type 3 rims.

Any help would be appreciated

I have them, $300 each.

I dont remember the Type 3 rims have the slots in them what years was that ???

all my early Type 3s were solid rims

PHAT BUG ·

I'm pretty sure all pre '64, not exactly sure on the dates though??

REDKG ·

i have a set of 5 x early rims (aussie model) but they are solid as dave said.

Very early ones did have the slotted rims and yes, they are extremely rare and worth that much. I have seen them change hands for more in the US with serious Type3 collectors. So please refrain from posting negative comments if you don't know what your taliking about...let's try and maintain respect in this forum.

yes early type 3 rims had slots, not as big at splitbus though

PHAT BUG ·

I found one more today, In my own stash of splitty rims of all places 🙄
so may be right for now but i'd really like a spare too😉
