mmm, left out that all important laughing emoticon.
Not quite sure why we're still debating over a wheel Terry sold on ebay weeks ago though.

Hi Matt
I don't think early type 3's had slotted wheels??
and I do think they had wheels the same as beetles with clips but slightly wider rims..?

I think you're right Lee, never seen type 3 wheels wide 5 with slots.
they all been solid as far as I have seen.

the rim in question has 3 lugs pressed from the hub of the wheel, VW didn't do this they pressed the whole of the hub. again see early type3 wheels
with flat cap.

Is that so?
How many 66-67 Beetle rims like this do you wanna see before you believe me? 
There are 1000s of 66 and 67 Beetles out there with these types of rims.
We just didnt get them in Aus so not many people knwo about them.
Btw, most Prefect and anglia wheels are 16" and have a totatlly different slot pattern, as do 356 Porsche rims.
Unmolested 67 bug with original wheels
Same bug...

I think that it may be a '65 Beetle wheel after seeing this;
Resto Beetle
I thought that at least someone here would have known about them! 
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Yeah, cos 65 beetles came with chrome 5.5 rims.....
Those ones are just the knock off 356 chrome mangles made in Brazil
