That wheel above is the 13inch type that was fitted to the first lot of Pumas built in South Africa, but I do not know the name

Certainly not everyone's taste, but they look a lot better if not painted black. Here they are on some original Brazilian Pumas:beetlepower wrote:thats ugly
These Pumas were the first ones based on a DKW:

These 14 inch aluminum slotted mags are often mistaken for SA Puma rims, but they are slightly different. Also known as 'Jelly bean' mags, due to the shape of the 5 large slots. The slots of SA Puma rims have 2 sharp corners each, and the center hole is a lot bigger, where a specially made unique spun and chromed steel centre cap fits in from the inside. The 'Jelly bean' mag has universal plastic centre caps.

Re: List of Wheels for Aircooled VW s
Tose 13 inch wheels posted by Snyx was oem on the first 20 pumas bult in South Africa
made from 100% magnesium they were prone to oxidation and that is why they are almost always black. (apparently the first brm's suffered from the same ailment i can vouch that polish lasts about 3 days before the luster fades.
They were made in Brazil by Scorro Rodas ( Scorro wheels) For the Puma I just wish they were made in 15 inch. The puma was delivered with 5 3 that were 6inches wide and 2 that were 7 inch wide for the rears.
The later Pumas had wheels which were made by Ralle wheels in springs with those sharp corners pine talked about when Ralle was taken over by Tiger wheels the molds were slightly modified and the Jellybean was sold through Tiger Some had plastic and some had metal caps
Unlike the Scorro wheels the Puma 14inchers all were 7 inches wide. which caused some problems in the front. The Tigers were available in both 6 and seven inches.
