Steve
They're the globes (?) aren't they?
I know someone here (NZ) with 14 inch ones on his VW based scratch built.
I'll see what I can find out or send him the link here.
Cheers
Jeremy

inside but I'll have ta check. If your chasing any other info ask John Sherman from Volksconversion's

Dragged me arse into the shed: The backspace is 110mm on the globes. Perfermance wheels make a copy and will machine the distances that you want. The
globes that I have use the original VW bolts to hold them on. The performance ones dont but they come with all bolts etc and centrecaps. They look
good but slightly different in the centres to the Globes. HTH

Hi
Thanks for your replies, the reason I ask is becasue I want buy some wheels that have the same backspace to fit a superbug and I dont want to have to
go the expense of small coilspring struts, I know these fitted my car without any spacers. I have wider guards so they should fit under OK.
