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

That's why we call hime theFig

That is from an early Ford Anglia or Prefect.

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

16" 5 x 205 PCD

For interest sake do they fit a Beetle.

Maybe I should do a disc brake conversion and put these for extra cooling...

Why, are you going to take the gold plated sprintstars of the 1952 Split Beetle.

Shame ....

I have a set of widened Beetle steel rims they are 15inch and measure 160mm wide what size tyres can I fit.Not looking for very wide tyres.Any ideas guys.

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.

Thanks Herman appreciated.
