Could be Performance Challengers, ATS Cups or Globes.

Globe Bathurst mags were what they are known as. Want a set ?? I have some I don't need.
snitz ·
Both Bathurst Globes and Performance Challengers have a shit offset too.Their okay if you want a rollerskate look..lol.
gordysbeetle ·
Yep I didn't like the look of the globes.
69bug ·
I want something with a decent offset
What's best? Stock?

If yours is a 69 torsion front then rear wont be a problem..The front will be a problem unless you narrow your beam down 2 inches or so if you want to run EMPI repro wheels etc.
.The other option is a set of wheels from Richard Holzl from VFORCE..His wheels are probably the best fitting aftermarket wheel without having to narrow your front beam.Look up his details and give him a call,he's a wealth of knowledge.

I run a set of porsche boxter wheels on the convertable, 6 x 16, ET55 on the front with 195/50/16 and 7 x 16, ET40 on the rear with 225/55/16, do not rub and clear the guards, i also run dropped spindles, if you do not have those it will still fit. you can pick these up very cheap on flea bay, do not narrow the beam just get the wheels with the correct ET so the car will retain the factory geometry.

They are some of the best fitting wheels I know
I run them and love them
The V Force Spiders came in 20 and 36ET
You will have to pick them up 2nd hand - Richard doesnt do them any more

It's a 69 manual so a swing rear axle and torsion front
Got 185 tyres on the back, so 4.5 inch rims and stock 165s on front
Will post picture

As Snitz said they are proper ATS rims.gordysbeetle wrote:Globe Bathurst mags were what they are known as. Want a set ?? I have some I don't need.
The ROH copies (Bathurst globes and Performance Challangers) are fairly different in the flesh

So Joel where can I find some ats rims?
And what exact offset will I be looking for ?

Great looking wheel

they do look good.

You would extremely lucky to find a set of ATS Classics in Aus, you would probably have to get them from Europe, they are worth a mint as they sought after69bug wrote:So Joel where can I find some ats rims?

The proper ATS classics have an offset and witt made for bugs, 15x5.5 et25.
the Globes were made in the era of wide Carrera gaurds, 6" et6 are a lousy fit with stock guards.
Are your current ones rubbing?
69bug ·
Nope they are perfect
Just after a different look

They are still listed on the site but look quite different
Joel ·
that's the 13" version for early watercooled VWs that's why they look funny
Gracey ·
I've got a set of 5 I'd be prepared to part with if the price was right.
snitz ·
Just out of interest Gracey..are the ATS rims magnesium/alloy or just alloy rim?..
Gracey ·
Geez I don't really know, just alloy I think.
69bug ·
Can buy of just campers for 900ish
snitz ·
Yeah was about to say that 69bug..As a Wolfrace wheel..They say they are 15" but I think the rim pictured is also a 13" wheel.

Hmmm wonder how similar they are
