Hello Everyone,
I am looking for some original wheels for a VW Thing. I bought a project that has been sitting for a long time. Someone put oversized wheels on it, but one of them is missing. So, it has 3 oversized wheels and one original. I bought some early beetle wheels, but they are narrower and would look strange. The Thing uses a 5 bolt pattern, so they are harder to find than many other VW wheels. Let me know if you have any that you are willing to sell.
Dan

also note, original thing wheels are 14", Beetle are 15". I don't have any extras and actually I could use one more original thing wheel since my spare is missing.
