That's not a split Beetle rim. It's from a 1940s Opel or Ford.

That is from an early Ford Anglia or Prefect.

I have two sitting in KZN, if anyone is looking to build a set.

160 / 25.4 = 6 J

You should be able to fit 165 to 185 tyres, but can go to 195 but it will bulge a bit, if you like that kind of thing.
