You have pictured our fellow New Beetle friend, Tamikas car, Herbie Jr. Here is her profile, and she is also at Facebook with many of us.

Thank you so much - what a small world!
I will contact her and Herbie Jr

 

What did you learn??

I tried for several months to find those and gave up
just ordered the daisy rims today
So now that it is too late for me - still curious where you can get those rims?

 

found these a while ago, never did order them, they only come in one size, but when i found the 17 inch turbo s rims i had to get a set, but hope this helps, you will see a few rims, but the retro ones are at the bottom, here's the link:
Custom Wheels for the New Beetle

 

Thanks

Thank you for such a quick reply!! Wow that site is expensive --- I paid $112 per rim for the daisies
Thanks!

but yea, i have seen the daisy style rims at many sites, but this was the only site i could find that had the beetle retro rims, dont know why, they look so cool and give the new beetle the old school look, perhaps i didnt google enough, lol, god bless google

 

I believe the wheels on the Herbie are actually for a PT cruiser ( same bolt pattern )

yea, not sure what type of rims, but they dont look like the retro ones i seen, wasnt sure if it was cause the wheels were spinning or what

 

Actually they look like the 65 and older beetle wheels which were Solid . where as most reto looking wheels, where peeps take the steelie and add a vintage hubcap look like the 66 and later wheels that had vented slots It's all in what a peep wants

 

You are correct - hubcapmike.com said they would fit the basic NBC black rim ,
But then I would have had to buy those too . I was told I wouldn't be
happy in the end . I'll post a pix next week when my car has her "new shoes" !!

 

I live by hupcapmike.com and went in to the shop. the only ones that fit the NB Rim are the full moons, not the baby moons with the trim rings, like Herbie Jr's. Herbie Jrs came from jegs.com. Pricey bc you need a new rim. However, someone on here drilled their stock rims and add clips, so a baby moon will fit. I am gonna try that after a bit more research - really want the baby moon look!

will see how it turns out!

 

ive seen the steelies with the chromed center and ring, but they dont look as good as the actual retro ones, here's a link to a photo of them:

AH the ATPs . they look good on a beetle hard to find . Honestly I never liked them much as the home made retros

 

you can find them in ebay still:

You're right, there's links on my picture thread to the wheels we have. Which are PT Cruiser wheels.

I've talked to disneybug in PM, led her to the links on jegs.com.

 

Another option, which is different but old skool, too. Ronal AERO wheels.

 

Those are HOT :jawdrop:

Wheels

The owner of this fine bug that I pictured but her "Smoothies" as I now know they are called - at JEGS Performance Auto Parts - Holley - Billet Specialties - Edelbrock - MSD - Moroso - Mr Gasket not that bad of price either...

 

hello, I'm looking something similar as well. I'm wondering if you had any luck with your search? I have a 2002 turbo beetle, and would like the vintage rims/hubcaps/wheels look.

 

I searched and had no luck and ordered the daisy rims for my bug ( which I love !! ) BUT just as they were put on my car I was told the vintage rims are available with the PT cruiser . I was told the PT cruiser has the vintage look and the same bolt pattern and will fit bugs. I am not 100 percent on this but that is what I was told - best of luck and let us know if this works !!

 

Hopefully it's OK to bump up this thread vs starting a new one. I tired to PM The Cheat but their inbox is full.

Anyone know which wheels these are?

Are they just steel wheels with a hubcap?
