why has no one made nice custom wheels

[gkeeton@zbzoom.net]

so could someone tell me how wide the original smoothie wheels are from '64. i think they are 5.5" but unsure.

I didn't think VW started making anything wider than 4 inches until 71 for the Superbeetles. Maybe the Bus rims in the 60's were 5.5. Anyone else?

[Sleeper 64]

Mine are 4.5 I measured them today.

ok that stinks 4.5" is not wide enough. guess i either need to find a widened set for the rears or have mine done. anyone have a set kicking around in your garage done already you don't need anymore.

[Sleeper 64]

I had a set of 67 wheels they measured 5.5

yes but '67 wheels have slots and are not smooth correct.

[Sleeper 64]

Correct. I just saw a set of 63/64 wheels on the Samba that were widened to 5.5
