Two questions I need help on:
the owner of the early 60's bug, in these pics, says that the wheels on that bug are "genuine Porsche wheels". Are they? (Or are they repros?) Second question, regardless of whether they are Porsche or repros, would they fit– with a simple 5-4 lug disc convertor– onto my stock 1971 Super Beetle?

If they are 14" (They look like it) then they are real.

Real Porsche wheel will have the part number on the backside of wheel,
starting with 901 xxx xxx xx. Also they won't fit a VW without adaptors or
redrilling brake drums.
