Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

I thought I'd be absolutely in love, but now that they're on... Im indifferent, thoughts?




Heres the stock wheels

Never liked "phone dials" on a VW... or a Porsche.

Turtlebacks re KEWL

what did those come on?

Aftermarket.

I’m gonna keep browsing OE wheels for now, Fuchs don’t do it for me.
I can fit 4x130,5x130 & 5x114, so I have plenty of options on that front, offset on the other hand

i think stock looks the best of all these. im a spoke guy myself

Either donks or slam it on earlies.

There, it's been said.

earlys r wide 5s?

5 spoke Fuchs. It's an inside VW joke whenever someone asks about wheels the response is "slam it on earlies". Kinda like the "it'll buff out" joke.

I agree with Glenn about the dials, but not about the turtle backs. Never liked those.

slamming on shiney wheels never fails!

I hate the turtles. Dial are ok... at least they are porsche.

does any band steel wheels locally?

Before you go widening wheels if your looking for a stock wheel look why not go with a set of 2013 and up Beetle rims trim rings caps and wheel adapters ?

those come in the +55ish offset i need?

if u take a quick look, my rears are already widened. when i measured them i foolishly thought my IRS would camber like a swinger.
I measured from the outer lip to the quarter and gave him the #. so now the rim sits right at the quarter which only leaves room for a stretched 165/50, which is a shitty ride and my front isn’t stretched at all.
i doubt anyone else notices, but i do

if i find someone who bands locally, i’ll go back to 4 lug,properly measure and get it done correctly.

straight as a question mark

can someone help me?
what’s the part number for bearings and races for my front disc brakes?
I’m finding one but not the other, I’d like to find a set (preferably on amazon)

picked up another set of wheels
