buy some blanks from one of the suppliers and have them drilled for whatever pattern u want
fitting studs is also a good idea while ur at it

Buy an earlier beetle 
Guess it depends on if its guna be bush, road orr beach..... Wouldnt have adaptors on the road.... But maybe on the beach. The super would have discs
on the front???? So the back drums i think you can swap for a wide 5 drum..... At least i thinks so....

they're not that much off. and just in case i had a mild thread locker on them. and silicone the plate to the drum so it looks like one piece which
would fool some cops...

You might 'fool' some people - including yourself - but not the Coroner!

I didnt expect one of my wheels to fall off once, didn't stop it from happening. Lucky it was only at around 5km/h when it happened because I was
about to go out onto the highway. Might not have been here typing this then.

did volkswagen only make front discs in 4 stud???
and also what is the latest bug model that had wide 5 drums on back (im assuming the later model will be better performance)
will these bolt straight up to my super after stock ones are removed???
