Title: These Wheels?
Post by: JMallows on 05 October 2004, 19:11

Look at the wheels on this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18303&item=2491747556&rd=1") Variant, i'd like to know where i could get a hold of some from, or the similar sort put onto the beetles, etc... Also, would they easily fit my MK2?

there just stellies with a hubcap arent they??? ?im sure u could pick up some beetle/camper hubs somewhere and bond them to some steelies,? would be different i guess? :-X

btw, im 99% sure they are the wrong fitment  :-\

Yeah, i could swear the wheels themselves were very similar to mine, with hubcaps. But where do you get the hubs from ???

I know kingfisher customs sell them. there just on the outskirts of Birmingham. don't know if they do mail order or not though.

Hmm, i think perhaps one million dollars is a touch far fetched!  :P

I don't necesarily want originals, just a similar "style" to that. The camper ones would fit too,might be a bit easier to find? Also don't know whether black would better than chrome....
