Im aware there not Germanlook but..

ok thanks dave, im not really sure how different supers are up front when it comes to wheel fitments though lol.
nice bug by the way.




ps what look would mine acttually be considered lol
its 2 tone will maybe lower the car in front with drop spindles,or adjustable beam(if narrowing is needed) no discs, stock drums. Rear will be MAYBE lowered and inch or 2, think it would be ok?

[davetaylor]

yeah, super front sizes and offsets are wholly different.

i'm not sure if there's a "look" that your car fits into, but i'm not big into that kind of thing anyway. my next project is only "german look" because i came across a set of porsche brakes cheap, which meant i had to run porsche wheels. otherwise mine would have an unknown "look" too.

i think your car will look good with those wheels at that size. no one ever sizes them well and they never look just right. that includes mine because i got them from a friend, and beggars can't be choosers.

just go with whatever you want because that'll ultimately make you the happiest.

Well I wont get them any time now, but I do want them.Till then Im rolling these.

15x4.5's front and rear with 195/60/15's on them.

[davetaylor]

i've always liked those wheels. if i were you i'd probably just polish the heck out of those and spend wheel money on suspension and brake upgrades. ghia brakes are cheap!

[Veedub]

yeah but the stick out on all 4 corners, frontend is like yours in your picture. the rear is bout half that.I thought bout using them but there 4.5" wide, if I build a hi po motor they might spin alot. Also they got a 0 offset and I dont think ghia discs will fit behind them.

I do have and idea for them but donno if it would look right. If I did use these, Id narrow the front 2" maybe that would be enough to allow me to lower the front 3" and then for the rear, buy 1 1/4" wider fenders to cover them fully and lower the rear 1 or 2". If i could maybe theres a tire that would fit better than a 195/60 does, they kinda balloon out but not really bad.

[Veedub]

Either that idea or this.

If theres a 165/80/15's(or someting similar) with a performance look Id run them on the rear and if the size exists 165/60/15 (if they do exist I cant find any) for front.
Tire specs from a site I been playing on
165/80/15
Sidewall:5.2"
Radius:12.7"
Diameter:25.4"

165/60/15
Sidewall:3.9"
Radius:11.4"
Diameter:22.8"

Im trying to avoid the bubble look on my tires.

[davetaylor]

i think there's a 175/55/15 available. and there's an even smaller one, like, 165/45 or something crazy like that.

i'd spend the money on correctly sized wheels because once you factor in the price of wider fenders and a narrowed beam you could have a pretty nice set of wheels. ccc fenders are $200+ with shipping, so fenders alone are more than some sets of wheels.

[Veedub]

Well...Ghia discs wont work on these do to the offset.
Which leaves me to ask, will Porsche 924 wheels 87-82 with the 4-108 bolt pattern fit inside the fenders of a 72 standard bug with stock fenders?im aware the vw pattern is 4-130 though.Anyone know the offset to these by the way?
