A wheel poll, if you please...

[Anonymous]

I can't decide whether to go for standard 14inch solids on my Deluxe...

Or 15inch '66 only bug wheels...

Your votes counts! 8)

Colour of the wheels is not important, I'll be getting whichever I choose painted all fancy. (Probably black, with black hubs behind them.)

i like the little ones.

Can I add a 3rd option? I'd use stadard solid pre '66 Beetle wheels if you want to go bigger but keep a stock look...

I considered this, but 66 only wheels have a better offset and tuck in more... Also the valve holes are smaller.

imo they both look ace but the 15's just have the edge, fill those arches.

 

[pete nice]

I reckon the 15's. It looks like you have made the effort & used imagination. It is an unusual choice but seems to work well...

14s FTW

 

[jabbo]

Lookswise I like the bug wheels.

Obviously though the 14s will get you that little bit closer to the ground (subject to tyre choice).

 

[Clem]

14's ... not just for originality, just that solids look much better, imo.

Interesting... I'm actually swaying towards the bug wheels... But then the 14s will get me closer to the ground and I own them already! :lol:

I like them both - which doesn't help you at all!!

How about some 15" split bus rims - they're kinda a cross between the smooth 14" bus rims and the slotted 15" bug rims???

 

[Anonymous]

How much? What's the offset? How wide are they?

Mmmm, nice red detailing on the last set!

I'm gonna stick to bug rims, they're lighter than split rims too. :wink:

 

[Anonymous]

Still undecided on 14s or 15s though!

Grazy, give me a shout and I can put you in contact with a couple of people.

Tracked down a NOS unused set for £125. Too pricey for me though! :lol:
