    I saw this set of rims on a VW at the show today. The outer edge holes are shaped similar to a trapezoid. About 24 holes on the rim. And they are four lug rims. I asked the owner of the car and he didn’t know. He asked the previous owner when he bought it and he didn’t know either. Said they we on the car when he bought it. I have a pic on my cell phone and will try to post it after supper. Hopefully someone will know.

    Okay all. Here’s the photo of the rim in the above post.  Any ideas of which VW rim it is? Thanks.

    Brazilian VW rims, late model (circa 1991–see here). Cip1 had these–non chrome–on “clearance” for like 4 years for $49 per and I almost bought them a dozen times, but never did. Haven not seen them listed in quite a while, so maybe discontinued.

    I think they look very cool & would go great on a TDr.

    Ed. Any idea if they were 4 x 130 lug spacing?

    Should be 4×130, and may be 5.5″ wide.

    Look nice!

    Cool beans. Thanks Ed and Kent. Maybe I’ll get lucky and score a set at the Bug-A-Paluza show in Chattanooga this April. I always make Reynolds GA, Chattanooga TN, Montgomery AL, and Dade City, FL VW shows each year. And I plan own adding Carlisle PA and the VA show Roy et al go to, next year for sure. Approve

    That’s a good spot to look. They are apparently very common in Brazil. None on the Samba when I looked the other day but probably they come up from time to time. They should not cost a lot.
