"German" wheels for 67 1300
Hi,
Just bought a 1967 1300 Beetle with 5/205 pattern. Want some modern wheels on it - but still keeping suspension travel and turning radius. Will not lower the car that much though. Saw the BMW inspired Beetle in March Volksworld - this is in line with what I want. I do not want standard Porsche or Beetle wheels like Fuchs, Sprint-stars etc. So - 6" wide at the most I think. Preferably some rubber also so 16" seems a good compromise. Going either to redrill drums, or make adapters. Thoughts and ideas? Last edited by redhot; March 1st 2010 at 18:13.

So - I found some that looks nice - along what I`m thinking at least.
I also found an excellent article at Lanner`s page : http://www.vdubengineering.com/technical/wheel.htm It is a bit unclear about narrowed or not narrowed front beam - but as I understand 17" with 7" wide and ET of about 35+ is the optimal way to go. 16" and 6" should be even easier though - but I`ve almost only found Porsche wheels - design 90 - amongst others that has this side. It is an option though - 16x6" in front and 16x8" in the rear. Last edited by redhot; March 3rd 2010 at 14:05. |

Did not find any similar in a quick search -
but did find some more pics of the wheel on the same car Same car - perhaps anyone know of the owner? Remember seeing this many times in this last configuration - very nice car! |
