Where did you find them???

Hi
They wont fit a 4 stud bug, Im pretty sure that they are 4 x 100 mm. But if you wanted to fit the 924 drums & discs to your car they would fit.

You might want to check, cause 914's Had the same 130pcd as Late VW! If they do they would be a pleasant change from all the regular wheels that
fit onto stock brakes! 924 basically ran with VW suspension including Trailing arms and struts! Dont see why they would have changed the brakes
either (stud pattern is what I mean!)
N!

Hi
The 924 drums & rotors can be fitted to 4 stud bug, opens up a whole new world of alternative wheels.

It looks fairly simple until You see the rear disc brakes...
Makes it a whole new ball game...
a hard one at that..
But Nothing is Impossible....
Just a bit Harder.... Lee

Hi
The 924 had rear drums, they are the same as 4 stud beetle apart from the stud pattern, same deal with the front rotors.
