You may have seen me post in the selling forum for a 70 or earlier beetle. fingers crossed all going well i should be the owner of a 69 beetle.

I am going to lower the front and of course get a set of wheels. I'd be interested in seeing your wheels and what price and where I could get a set from.

thanks in advance

What are you after?
A 69 will be a 4 x 130
Not a lot of options
Well - a lot that have the wrong offset
If you are staying 4 x 130 - have a look here

All the 4 bolts will fit to some degree

You may be able to pick up a set of V Force spiders
6" x 15" 36 or 20ET

Otherwise go Porsche if you are after GL

Actually i would like the existing wheels widened to 195 if possible

where's the pictures

Widened stock wheels look great. You can buy brand new chrome steel wheels in 15 x 5.5" size to suit 12v Beetles. As Dave says, ring Vintage (02) 9789 1777.

awesome thats exactly what i want thanks

I called vintage they dont have them in chrome but have in paitned silver for $200 each apparently chrome are hard to come by and are Brazillian chrome which need a lot of waxing

Ring george at classic and see the price difference

I was considering just basic chrome steel wheels but i might save my money

no matter what chrome wheels you gt they will rust as chrome aint what it used to be

why dont u look for some mags

very nice in full polish

Im too slow

Thanks Dave the more i research into vw parts and chrome i am hearing the same story about chrome.

What mag wheels are available? The other option i am thinking it widened steel wheels in white with the chrome hubcaps

2 litres are nice

Are they Riviera wheels?

riviera .sweet

make sure the off set is the right size before purchase

sprint star

BRM

Gas burner

I am picking up my 69 Beetle on Saturday i know they are 4 stud but not sure what you mean about the offset?

I am really wanting to go with the standard bug look but with lowered front suspension. So im thinking widened rims painted white with the original chrome hubcaps but I am open to suggestions

cool

Love the car what model
