These are generally standard rims reversed.
You could cut the centres out and reverse them if you want to or remove hubcap clips and run sans hubcaps just reversed.
I reckon you could even drill out the hubcap clips and insert new ones reversed to save yourself the work of removing the centre.

Please do not just remove the hubcap clips, and reverse the whole wheel !  It has been done, but it's really dangerous, for a number of reasons.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yeah... Thanks for the feedback so quick...
I think ill stick with buying whole wheels.
i can get them professionally widened for $150 per wheel, which is cutting the center and putting a new outer wheel on...
Anybody got any?

Before you use any wheels that have been modified, make sure the are TRUE and the bolt-face is FLAT. Bad wheels can ruin good drums.
Lay the wheel down, with the inside facing up, and place a [good] drum against the centre. There should be no sign of 'rocking' when you push down
anywhere on the drum.

Have a look on Facebook at a couple of the Australian VW buy/sell pages. There's a fella on there selling new ones, based up in QLD, sorry I don't
have a link.

Where are you getting it done at mate?
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!
