buy some blanks from one of the suppliers and have them drilled for whatever pattern u want
fitting studs is also a good idea while ur at it

Buy an earlier beetle 😂

Guess it depends on if its guna be bush, road orr beach..... Wouldnt have adaptors on the road.... But maybe on the beach. The super would have discs on the front???? So the back drums i think you can swap for a wide 5 drum..... At least i thinks so....

Just don't have an accident as they aren't legal.

You might 'fool' some people - including yourself - but not the Coroner!

I didnt expect one of my wheels to fall off once, didn't stop it from happening. Lucky it was only at around 5km/h when it happened because I was about to go out onto the highway. Might not have been here typing this then.

did volkswagen only make front discs in 4 stud???

and also what is the latest bug model that had wide 5 drums on back (im assuming the later model will be better performance)
will these bolt straight up to my super after stock ones are removed???
