not 100% sure, but i think it means two are for the front, and the other two are for the back, in other words, two are small/bigger than the other two.....


cheap set me thinks......

6j and 7j refers to wheel width.

Stock wheels are 5.5j

You could find a better set that don't need refurbing at a good price, but you'll need to have adaptors on your Bug to alloy them to fit as they are 5 stud Porsche pattern and you have 4 stud VW Pattern.

The cost of the adaptors or getting your hubs redrilled to fit will probably put you off as you could get a set of Bug fitment rims for the same price.

I'd recommend some 914 2 litre alloys.

You can get a good set for around £300 if you look around.

pedrini's are also 4 stud and a really nice offset so you can tuck big tyres under the arches (i was running 205/70/15's). these ones were picked up at BVF last year for £200 for 5!

You should be able to pick up a set of these for less than £200 with tyres.
Just polish the high spots and they look decent.

ive just brought a set of centrelines second hand and although i have spent 2 days refurbing them, they look fantastic.

they came with 4 nearly new tyres and cost me 150 quid off ebay.

had to buy some bolts that cost me 32 quid, so all in not a bad investment really.

ive kept the originals as well, as they were painted to match the car and dont look to bad.

i only upgraded because i needed 3 tyres for the mot.
