I love my Chapparals. Slot mags are just soo 70ies, so American.. Ideal for a period looker. Most of these were wide and 13" and 14" and meant for Manx's. Mine are 15x5 and perfect on a Type 1 with 50mm narrowed beam. "Rounder" and more sexy than the Ansens. My opinion.
soory pal.... you don`t have a clue..... the Ansen rules... he he he Alien |

There are so many cool old wheels, hard to tell a favourite. They all rock, if they are on the right car. I am not very fond of repro wheels in general... This is my oval on crestlines.

Love your ride Rune!
I like most 60s and 70s aftermarket wheels for VW's, but have a special passion for vintage 5-spokes.
My contribution to this wonderful thread is the two sets I have in my possesion, a set of 5" Rockets (with the pointed spokes) and a set of 6" ET Mags.

I just have to mention "Cal Part Mags" thats what I'm running on the Manx They have to be my all time favourite wheel - and that not just because I have just spent 15 hours on each wheel detailing them for the Volksworld show 2006  |

Yes, I like the Cal parts too! It is very difficult to choose just one favourite, there`s so many cool wheels out there |

I like almost every 5-lug wheel. Different wheels look good on different cars. It just depends on which style your prefer... I have had some 4,5" sprintstars lying around for my splitwindow. I once traded them with a guy for normal 5-lug VW wheels. The guy I traded 'em with didn't care what wheels he had on his buggy as long as it looked okay...  I've sold those Sprintstars a while ago to buy my Shorrock. I have to find other wheels for my split now...  For my 1967 (model '68) bug I have bought some Old School Fat Lip G.T. mags (as VW calls them)... I hope to find 'em on my doorstep in about 5 weeks. Can't wait!!  Here's a pic of the wheels. hey jordy your wheels are they formula v models??,they 're similar at this one |

Some call it "Fat Lip Rivieras" and others call it "Fat Lip Formula Vee Wheels" and Volkswagen calls them "G.T. Mags" in their old brochure... The ones in your pic and mine are 100% the same. I'm only wondering why no one in Europe has these wheels fitted to their bug?? Are they unsafe? Don't they fit very well, or are they just very rare on this side of the ocean??  Does anyone have a pic of an Old School Cal-Looker with these wheels. I'm kind of curious how they look on a bug... |

Almost!!!  This is the later "small-lip" version of the early riviera's... But it's by far the best pic I've seen so far. This really helps me to paint a picture in my head of what it's gonna look like!! Ignore the low ass and accessories... and you've got the look I'm going for... It's about the same color as I had in mind for my Rivi's and damn it looks good on a red car!!! WOW!!!  |

This is early rivieras on my old -67. The early rivieras has a tapered edge and the later has a more square edge shown below.

A friend of mine has a set, had them on his 69 looker for a while. Only at the rear though, as they won't clear the calippers at the front. Drum brakes only

That's a little downside. But for now I still have and will be using drum brakes so it's not a huge problem... Thanks for the input everyone!!!  |
