I could be wrong but I think you will be hard pressed to get anything that narrow in 14 inch.

VW NEVER used 14 inch wheels...

first 16 inch then 15 inch wide 5 studs

these are probably what you are looking for...

155 x 15 were the normal sized radials...
Now 165s x 15 have to be used... or 145 x 15

14 inch rims were used back in the 60s to lower the diff ratio for better performance... but they were usually wider than the original sized wheels -- 6 inches wide...

so a 14" rim although looking like stock inside
is an aftermarket make?

interesting
