The rim will measure 16" from end to end, but there is a 1/2 inch lip for the tyre to sit in, therefore taking 15" tyres. Does that make sence?!

16" rims take 16" tyres. Latest date stamp for
a 16" rim is 54? (Theoretically could be 55 but I've never seen one).
So, green57 that's a 15" beetle rim in your pic. Look at your
beetle and bus rims. Notice the difference? One is
'solid' and the other has 5 little slots...

I think I have one rim, it measures 42 cm, it looks the same as the pic. I take a pic after work to day and un-load it. If its the right one its yours

Thanks all for the responses. Robnjo, appreciate the gesture.
RobK, did the 16" barny rims even have slots then? I thought slots were bought in later? Obviously not..
I would be wrapped if I could get two more of the ones like this.. Something tells me it will take a while.. :o

That looks type 3 15" to me.. What does the tyre say?
Something like 165 x 5.5 x 15?

The tyre has nothing written on it, on either side, its a cross-ply tyre.
the measurement I took was from the other rim which would mean its a 15 inch rim.at the swap meet there was an early panel for sale with two rims on
the back the same as mine but had the four slot rims(splitty) on the front.not sure who was selling the panel, might have been Alec from Toowoomba as
it was next to his stand of goodies

robnjo,
you have a beetle rim there. A type 3 rim doesn't have hubcap clips on it.

Most VW's pre 54 or up to 54, came with 16" rims. It seems these are Beetle rims, therefore Split Beetle/ Zwitter (regardless pre oval probably).
RobK, can you show us some Barny 16's please mate? I thought they all were the same.

Incorrect Jim, Zwitters were the first beetles with 15's. Only double glovebox splits have 16's. As for split buses, Im not 100% sure, but all
barndoors had them....

Pic of 16" Barndoor bus rim.
I've seen the 16" 'bus' style
(with slots) dated 53 and 54. MAY have all
been solid rims 51/52 (hmmm) but there is a big disinformation regarding 16" barn bus rims being solid. Think that's just because the slotted
'bus' rims are very very hard to find and not seen that much.

RobK
p.s. hope image size is OK. Updated to XP, lost all
software experimenting with photoshop 7 now etc etc
