Rims from Bug featured in Vol 1 OZVW
68Volkaru - April 25th, 2012 at 11:17 AM

Hi,

I recently (over 12 months ago now) purchased the 68 that featured on page 58 in Vol 1 of VW Australia mag.

According to the article, the vehicle was resto'd/built buy a guy named Robert Newman. The vehicle at time of print, had a set of Green color coded 15" Custom Wheels.

I am just wondering if anyone out there in the VW community knows the whereabouts of these rims?

They did look big (if that is what you are referring to, and not the popularity). Car has different tires now, and has a totally different stance.
