Weird wheel
I spotted this wheel on the front of a house when I was going for a walk the other day.I've never seen one like this before ,it has the wide five
stud pattern so it must be off some sort of early vw.
Does anyone know what it's off?

There are more cars in the world than VW.
What about Ford Prefect?

A friend of mine once had a Ford Prefect, and his brother had a Beetle. They once swapped wheels for a weekend!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yep, thats what I thought, slightly smaller PCD. Don't fit VW quite right.

203.2 is not really 205....I know Jerry with the Kubel ran the Ford Prefect 16" wheels for a while, making them 'fit' with the aid of a file. Until
the real VW rims eventually were sourced.

I think I posted a similar pic about 5 years or more ago being used for exactly the same purpose. I had no idea back then either. And then another
more recently which I belive must be the holden. Doesnt have any holes on the outer.
