Im getting married November 2nd and im planning on driving away in my 73 super beetle. A friend of mine said he would let me borrow a set of his 17" vw gti rims, but the pattern is 4X100 and mine is 4X130 is there any where you know of that i can get a adapter to make it work. Thanks

I am also interested in wheel adaptors. I know people have said they are available, but I haven't seen them on any websites. Perhaps I am overlooking them or they are called something else.

i've read quite a few places that wheel adapters arn't favorable. one, the stick your wheels out that much further. two, more bolts to keep tight or come loose (and i've heard this is a problame). three, if you want to run different wheel paterns you should find a shop that will re-drill you drums (or rotars) to the wheel pattern and have no worries. shouldn't cost you any more than buying wheel adapters.

You can get the drums in any bolt pattern you want.... Just check cb performance, the real source, any place like that.. maybe and preferably www.aircooled.net
