beetle/bus wheels

hi my mate has these wheels!







i think they come off a beetle, dunno what year, he would like to put them on his panel van but they are the wrong stud pattern.

what options does he have?

how hard would it be to put beetle hubs on the van?
can adapters be bought for them?


also how much do people think there worth.

i think there 15's

bump

what year is the panelvan? i think beetles and campers use the same stud on pre 67s, they were the wide 5 stud and after 67 they changed to 4 stud on beetle and i think campers went to small 5 stud.

never seen these wheels before ill ask my bro what they are he may know

look like empi 8s

Look like minilites to me. Dependant on the stud pattern and if you want to seel them i might know someone who will want them.

Chris.

there not minilites or empi's they are just some poope chrome aftermarket. beetle wheels lol.

Like billy ball bag says pre 67 everything was wide 5(5x205 iirc).

then beetles went to 4x130(shame they didnt use another bolt).

And bays went to 5x112. If your mates bay is using 5x112 i would recommend he sells those wheels as he has a big choice avaliable with his current stud pattern.

i think the wheels come off a 70's beetle, explaining the large 4 stud then.

any ideas how much they are worth???

i think there nice wheels if only they'd fit a golf

yaaay i got all the stud patterns right im learningggg

deffo not empi 8s or minilights, i aint got a clue what they are lol never seen them before, best go on volkszone forum some one on there will know what they are for sure

iirc they were an aftermarket 70's/80's wheel. if you are selling them i may be interested depending on widths. otherwise ill just stick with my new marathon steels!

Theyre not empi 8s or anything mainstream, they look like cheap buggy rims from the 80's, meaning they're worth next to nothing probably??
Besides they're hideous IMHO of course lol
