I have seen a few pictures, and seen in person, Things with 5 spoke wheels like these on them. Did VW ever put them on as an OEM wheel or are they aftermarket only?



BTW these don't quite look like the 5 spoke you can anywhere get these days for $40. I have a set of these. Our very own Mattt is selling these:

As far as I know, they are not VW (at least not type 181). Are they 14 or 15"? (the 181 used 14" rims that were similar to 68-70 bus but with 1/2" more offset and welded all the way around).

Sorry those are aftermarket wheels. They typically are of low quality and of little value.
The only way I think they are better than a Thing wheel is if they are 15". The Thing has a 14" wheel and if you like mean aggressive tires you will be severely limited in tire selection by staying with the 14" wheel. Good luck. Bob Ingman

They look alot like the Acapulco wheels. Are they 14" or 15"?

I am sorry for this question, but will someone please tell me how to get a picture up like that? I know how to put up a link to a picture but can't figure out how to get a pic to come up on a post. If someone could please help me I would be very thankfull!! My e-mail address is chris181westy@hotmail.com sorry again!
