Here are some 19in rims on a nice two tone beetle...

And another...this time only measly 18in. Man I think I might get a complex with only 17in on my beetle :cry

dont know if anyone else agrees ,but i think the older style cars look better with old style wheels not the newer ricer boy styles.
but thats my opinion ok

looks good,but you need the taste for the, on a bug...what about the inner guards scraping,,,as long as it looks good hey,,,

pod, I agree, but only on period-styled cars... Cars with more modern styling, such as Steve Carter's bug, look great with big alloys.

Bullshit-they both look AWESOME

i dont mind the newer rims on the older period cars, but I reckon they should have more metal rather than the spindley spider-like spokes... some Merc E-Class rims would look good, as would some Jag-styled rims...

anyone know where to get 17inch rims for a 64?

I think they look good.
Not what I would do, I like the older style on older cars.
But each to there own taste on their cars

What about wire spoke rims on an older Beetle? This would look very interesting!

Im with Pod, if you want new style, buy a new car! and I don't wear a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches!
Rob...

Ive seen your jacket Rob, it goes with your cap

why don't you give the jacket a go-could start a new trend-couldn't be any worse than the crap our people are wearing now trying to keep up with the yanks.

I must admit I am not a huge fan of the second one but love the first (although would have ditched the two tone).

Pod and Robo, I gather you are not German/Euro Look fans?

I guess thats what makes the vw scene so cool, so many different looks and everyone likes different styles. Personally I get bored looking at car after car of 100 point stock restos... and I do like tweed jackets with leather patches!!

(just kidding) :P

I like first one but bet they scrape

Do look good on older bugs but not with a 2 tone paint job. All a matter of taste i suppose

purists will hate me. i think they both look tops, you can't go past an old school car with nice paint, on it's guts and big rims, just me though. i do still appreciate the original llok, the only thing i hate is ride height. i like my cars LOW

c'mon ...
18" 19" ? how can the dub move, unless it has a 2.0 turbo ? it's gona be slow starting for a stock engine...
maybe comfy on long distance cruise ? ^^

hell dude nothin wrong with that, might save a few points onm my license

go the old school i say.....

mmmmmmmm 19's, wonder about 20's with some very low profile tryes?
