  • 72 super beetle new wheels

    picked up some og empi sprint stars over the weekend. 15x4.5 (4" back spacing and 15x5.5 (3.5" back spacing) the original steelies are 15x4.5 4" back spacing. so the rears are out a full 1.5" than before. they are up close to the rear feanders.

    10mm spacers ordered for front wheels to clear my brake calipers
    wheel studs and nuts to replace the wheel bolts
    will be rolling the rear fenders to allow clearance for the tires

    i'm super excited for making these fit they are stamped "made in western germany" and are steel, not aluminum.

    a few teasers before a paint them (probably black with flat black accents)
    the black vinyl on the lower insert will be coming off as well.







    before the wheels were way sunken in on the rear

    Black would be the way to go. You've actually got the Super pretty slammed for a Super. Really liking it. I can't wait to get my 72' Standard up and running(I meant 'down' and running).
