After days of searching the samba and the internet in general I can't find anymore of these. I have never seen them before. Rare?

I have a set of these as well. When I was a kid my dad had a set on a super beetle and i bought a 1973 standard from a man at work and it happened to have a complete set of them on it. I was thrilled. I cant find them anywhere either. I would love to have a brand new set. I amthinking about trying to get mine re chromed. |

These 14" wheels are on this Thing, which I am interested in buying. I presume they were a dealer option, or maybe Porsche? Are they worth anything?
Thanks,
John

How about a full set of Carroll Shelby "Cal 500" slotted mags? 14x5 with 5x112mm bolt patterns.

Even though it pains me to hear you talk dirty about Cal Parts wheels, I will not file a formal complaint just yet. You found a nice set of patina'd wheels there restojohnny! |

I love Cal-parts wheels tooo just hated trying to fit them on the front of my bug back in the 80's because I couldn't lower it alot but with narrowing beam's like most of us do now it's really not an issue anymore . _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**
