Do you mean the inner and outer rubber doughnuts for the torsion bar spring plates.

These are either smooth or nobby depending on your year of bug.

Take a look at VW Heritage. It's a UK VW parts supplier and they have excellent exploded views of every part of a VW from karmanns to bays :)
If you look at the torsion tube you will see if you need a smooth doughnut or one with nobby bits.
