Old School Germanlook

Anybody like the early Germanlook that had the 15" ATS wheels?

I do.

I remember my friends using them on their SB verts in the early 90s. The rim still looks great on a bug.

The 5 Star ATS wheel for the 4x130 pattern. What ever happened to your Rabbit? I though it got smashed, answer me in a PM so we keep this post on topic.

I just restored a set of 15x5.5 ATS 5-Stars for the '75 GL Super I'm building. I stripped them then had the ribs and outer rim polished and the remainder painted gloss black. Think they will look great on the SB after it gets painted bright orange. Will post some photos when its finished. Am looking to purchase at least one more set in the near future. I think they look great and they are an easy upgrade when Porsche rims are not readily available. I'm with the US Military in Japan where anything Porsche is rediculoulsy expensive. Had planned on upgrading to Porsche when I get the car back to the US, but these rims look so good I might not bother.

Wow that pic came from my old "Super VWs" site on Geo****ies. I scanned it from a VW Scene magazine. I have a whole disk full of these old GL cars.

Thumbs up

To them there continental's we owe it all!

I got no more ATS pics.

My mate in Australia hates them, he say's they look like they're on backwards!

They are quite common over here in 13" on Opels and astras and...

But cool as when VERY wide 15's (or even 14's) on an '03, pref. 'vert, with fat fenders and coloured hood

More of your pics please Superman :silly: !!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the 4 bolt ATS wheels for the bug are super sweet!!!!

I just wish there was a place in the USA to get them at a good price.

Old school GL's with them look sweet.. 15X8 fronts and 15X10's out back even better!


I'm still trying to see what they would look like on my Ghia though

:P
