some mags?
Cheers
Custom Offroad
Volks Conversion
Thats two that come to mind that are VW businesses
Do kombis have the same stud pattern as bugs??
V force does a nice wheel ( http://www.beetleracing.com.au ) for beetles.
Have a look at:

This will give you an idea of possible donor cars (like the Audi A4) then you can search ebay for options.
hth
Split Screen Kombi's have the same stud pattern as early beetles, but Bay Window's have a stud pattern the same as Merc's, which is different to later beetles
i have these if youre interested! kombi stud pattern. alloy. would clean up and look pretty neat.
Why don't you try a Volkswagen shop?

I chose to bolt on some Audi wheels, which have the exact same stud pattern as the Bay Kombis. John Sherman from Volks Conversions has a couple of different styles to choose from. The wheels are second hand, but in reasonable condition. They suited my daily driving (ie; weren't too precious to get scratched) and they look pretty neat.

hmmm distance is bit far... and not really wat im after... thanx for the reply tho
any1 else got some 2nd hand mags?
VOLKSFOLKS!!!!!!
Top quality wheels at wicked prices and top service !
bummer i think i am heading down to balgowlah this saturday, too.
jeez i hate being a broke artist/student, those mags would look perfect on my bus 2guns. what dimensions are they?
Here's a small pic of the wheels. The centre caps are from a local mag wheel dealer. To make them fit at the front over the grease hubs, I just ground away a bit of plastic from the inside of each locking tab. The centre caps make the whole wheel package look tidier.
they are 'dominator madnums' from south australia. say 14 x 6 on the back. funny how the face measures 15 though.
being a student does suck! Especially watching all these cool conversions and restoration on here. Part time cash goes straight into the tank and the
rest onto the bus. Im thinking of lowering the bus before i get some mags... but will be keeping an eye out!
Those mags look sorta like the style i want... not heaps ricey but classy...
