What I did for my ‘71 is source some T25 wheels. They are nearly identical and bolt right on. The T25 (AKA Vanagon) boffins tend to “upgrade” to 17” wheels. Because of that, they jettison their old stock 14” wheels which are then commonly offered for sale, albeit with few takers. There was a...

Yep. That’s where I bought mine. Luckily (for once!) I live on the same side of the pond.
